Have a nice weekend, Friends!
I wanted to share some interesting information…. Everything that happens around the issue of privacy in our country resembles the film "Enemy of the State" (1998 film with Will Smith) - he is already 21 years old, but today we - just like in the film, are moving in the same direction
When beautifully voiced tasks / goals, as always, are actively used to cover up the true goal - total control - manipulation. By the way, if anyone has not watched this film, I highly recommend watching it - it will most likely take its rightful place in your film library.So about our reality:
The administration of US President Donald Trump is lobbying for the possibility of banning end-to-end encryption used in services such as
- iMessage
- Facetime
(here it seems to me PR, nothing more - Whats app never had end-to-end encryption in reality, but only had the illusion for the user that he was protected
- Signal
- and others.
This topic, according to the newspaper Politico, was the main topic at the meeting of the National Security Council this Wednesday.
Senior officials from the Trump administration met to discuss whether legislation should be enacted to prohibit technology companies from using forms of encryption that law enforcement cannot access user information. This will be a provocative move that will renew the long-standing feud between the federal government and Silicon Valley.
The meeting reportedly discussed two versions of the bill:
- "The two options for the law to emerge were to either publicly release the government's statement and overall position on encryption and say they would continue to work on a solution, or directly ask Congress to pass the law."
- Within the framework of this meeting, no final decision was made. The Justice Department and the FBI argue that catching criminals and terrorists should be a top priority, even if simplified encryption creates risks of hacking users. The Commerce Department and government departments disagree, pointing to the economic and diplomatic implications of mandatory backdoors. (special access for "older" brothers
In general, it remains for us to observe what this "movement" will eventually lead to.
