the apple vs fbi fight laid it bare

friends on the west coast believed it was the cost of protecting users
friends on the east coast asked why apple supported terrorists
sorry if that’s confusing — point im making is that it’s both, always has been, but is basically inherently political (and l partisan around surveillance types/governments vs the west coast technolibertarians)

i feel like for normals it will always be a moving target
This is not easy reading, and reflects why people in government are pretty much contemptuous when tech companies base their argument for encryption on 'we want to protect our users' privacy'. https://t.co/aNd5nFvu1H

I wish this had delved a bit more into what law enforcement is looking/asking for in terms of solutions, rather than just documenting the problem. There were nods to "more resources/platform accountability," but the subtext seemed to be weaken encryption?

This is a really important series and I'm glad the NY Times is talking to the incredible people who work on child safety every day.

One point they seem to be a bit confused about: the companies that report the most CSAM are not the worst actors, but the best. https://t.co/s1jXm5rfdY
the dynamic i have been fixated on for the past six or seven years is how far the pendulum has swung away from the Snowden-era revelations — where once “we” looked at encryption as a safeguard against oppressive government, now it is the refuge of the worst of actors

The tech companies "knew the house was full of roaches, and they were scared to turn the lights on. And then when they did turn the lights on, it was worse than they thought.” https://t.co/DrANvSmZpk

"The companies have known for years that their platforms were being co-opted by predators, but many of them essentially looked the other way, according to interviews and emails detailing the companies’ activities. And..they were slow to respond." https://t.co/DrANvSmZpk

for months, my colleague @mhkeller and i have been investigating one of the darkest, most depraved topics i've ever encountered: online child sexual abuse material, also known as child pornography. what we found is deeply troubling. 1/https://t.co/impB9oVM6h

The Times is right to bring up the difficult trade-off between privacy and child safety raised by the growth of E2E encryption. This is why we ran a workshop on non-backdoor options to deal with this issue, as covered by @CaseyNewton: https://t.co/VQtxWeDa7p

12 million reports on child sexual abuse material from last year can be tracked to @facebook messenger. In Facebook's attempt to ensure the users' rights to privacy they seem to have missed taken the downside of encryption into consideration.? https://t.co/MWZhKtRjLN

- what, in this world, could law enforcement possibly do with **encrypted** messages (assuming the crypto is done right)
- child abuse as yet another excuse to fingerpoint encryption? Seriously? Really?#sarcasm https://t.co/vfNd1ljViw
