The Dangers of End-to-End Encryption (April Fools!)

9 Likes

The solution proposed by companies like Apple and agencies like the FBI is a sound one. They will protect your messages, unless they encounter something suspicious. At that point, keys to decrypt your data will be given only to the good guys, so that they can enforce the law.

This approach makes a lot of sense.

It doesn’t since we have no reason to trust these so-called “good guys” with our personal data. While I am not a person of interest, I’d hate to share details of my personal life with the “good guys” just because they might catch a couple more “bad guys”.

E2EE? Why would you need such a waste of resources for your device? I’ve nothing to hide. All that precious resources wasted on ““encryption”” could’ve been spent more valuably by sending your data to the feds directly. Smh.

I indeed agree E2EE consumes a lot of resources, which could be saved for better causes such as brewing teas.

Also other security measures such as door locks car locks, phone locks, security checks etc, it is a huge waste in money and time to produce and use them, and checking people everyday.

In South Park, friendly faces is everywhere, and humble folks without temptation, why wasting resources on all these nomsense.

Seems about right coming from the same site which recommends Firefox and Chromite lol

Ummm the good guys are good by definition. Questioning them is like questioning 2+2=4.

I’m actually a very interesting person (you can and should follow my insta*) and yet I am willing to hand over all of my information to keep bad people from harming good people. I have nothing to hide, I am clearly a good person (again see my insta*) and good always beats evil, Hollywood and the News told me so!

* I don’t have an insta but I still stand by how interesting I am😜. Happy April Fools Day!

It would be a shame if this were deleted after today, this is information that is for the Greater Good. Nobody deserves the “Right to be forgotten”.

E2EE is against my love model I currently am working with. I love having everyone see what I do, I don’t need to write a blog since data brokers can publish one for me. I use HTTPS to HTTP redirection for this reason.

Wait. Does love have a quantized version that can run on limited resources? How good is it with logic (code) and reason (tests)?
