You could say that for everyone pushing for an encryption ban. If they use whatsapp, encryption, if they use https websites, encryption. Banning encryption is nigh impossible, it’s like trying to ban prime numbers. What they’ll actually do is get even easier backdoors and criminalise the masses that use it while still using it themselves.
They don’t want to ban encryption, they want to block encrypted chat apps, precisely so they don’t have to build backdoors. AFAIK it’s not possible to break signal/WhatsApp encryption without access to the targeted device, and once you have access you can get the messages directly without having to break the encryption.
There’s no encryption that a 5$ wrench and a bit o time can’t break
What if Randall would sell $5 wrenches with XKCD logo?
Do we know if the WhatsApp encryption is not breakable, if yes how? It could maybe have backdoors inside
I guess it could, as we have to take meta’s word for it, and a quick google search hasn’t turned up any independent security audit.
Encryption for me but not for thee.
This logic is the foundation of how the regimes rule the peasants.
It’s a privilege lol
Privacy is for the elites, what needs do the peasants have for it anyways?
Let the Elites keep their privacy, and the Peasants their pitchforks.
– some revolutionary leader? I dunno
This kind of thing just confirms how it’s really all about the Power elites keeping an eye out on the plebes trying to organise and change things so that they can kill any such things in the early stages.
Democracy was supposed to slowly bring Autocracies around to its way of doing things but instead what we’re seing is the very opposite of that.
European aristocracy is scared of the working class. They will tremble…! < Bolshevik chorus swells >
