We're just about to discuss this on the Twitter privacy chat -- http://cdt.org/twitterchat
"The FBI knows that most services are not going to be using full end-to-end encryption, and as such, there is not much to be gained by fighting a public battle over encryption backdoors."
Either way, I rather have the FBI have to get a subpoena in order to get the non encrypted data sitting on a hard drive on the other end then to easily be able to listen in on what im doing just becaue they "suspect" that something might be going on.
It allows me and the people to haver their right to privacy.
This isn't new. Just consider the infamous remark by the notorious Cardinal Richelieu (1585-1642), as quoted by that other monster of the State, Henry Kissinger; "Give me six lines written by an honest man, and I will find something in it with which to hang him".
The nasty thing about truly nasty people is that literally anything you say can (and will) be used against you - provided they retain room enough to maneuver. Sensitive information is simply that which has the greatest propensity for abuse in the hands of the abusive. People like this tend to dislike strong and open courts, where they're sworn to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth under penalty of perjury.
Needless to say, Cardinal Richelieu was careful to avoid accountability of that kind. Kissinger too.
Does anyone think totally encrypted storage and transport for files and email has a market?
