They try, they try and try again…and eventually have to back out once more!
This time, it’s the other around: the U.K. wanted it and the U.S. pushed back.
…the U.S. government had been working with its partners with the U.K. over the past few months to ensure that Americans’ civil liberties are protected.
As a result, the U.K. has agreed to drop its mandate for Apple to provide a ‘backdoor’ that would have enabled access to the protected encrypted data of American citizens and encroached on our civil liberties
“encroached on our civil liberties” - I must be dreaming!
The core problem here though is the dependency on a centralised entity (in this case, Apple). Such an entity can be directly attacked and secretly attacked.
if you have a need for lager privacy you should told your mother about, or your friends. However. We need privacy and the room for to make mistakes. So have one but without computers, then you do not need secure encryption. I know its hard to archive this without wlan, Mobile Lan, folks crowding the place with smartphones… so try to introduce them in your not secure world and adjust and care for humans and computers.
Apple was fine like the last 30 years about software and hardware in the past. Just today we are in an new time. With likely Chinese or Taiwan hardware and American software. Every Position try to influence others by possibilities.
You and others did not respond. I have to because i like to have some common future. Time passes and A.I. sneaked in. So i have to push it further on well known hot spots for some intelligence service, to got pushed through.
I hate the war and i am naive to take some side, i belief to some kind of a perfect not existent future. To create it or be build by our relatives… right now we are on a down scale because everything seems to be unstable and low level influenced by computed prediction and manifested change individuals. I just in the end the worth one got lucky.
I do not liked Apple, but maybe they had a good shot. If they do not sell data to others… and keep privacy. But if they not do.. you will judge…
