I think that earnest acceptance of “well, it’s for a good cause” style arguments indicates a severely stunted ability to generalize: either to generalize applications of the technology (it works on any proscribed content, not just stuff people generally agree is bad) or to generalize outcomes of this kind of corporate behavior (Apple will continue to actively spy on their customers as long as they can come up with a tenuous justification for it).
nobody thinks about the children that are literally starving every day or that are in social settings where they simply cannot succeed.
Let’s just treat everyone like disgusting criminals until THEY prove they are innocent by giving us access to everything they do.
The more I see, the more I want to literally dump all technology and go live off the grid.
With this technology in place, never again will the Government be able to wail "think of the children" when claiming E2E needs a back door in order to protect the the children.
Give me the bullshit back door any day.
