Always a good day for the NYT when it can publish a technology take that gives me a spontaneous eyelid twitch. https://twitter.com/kurtopsahl/status/1608187446151512065

“Late contender for worst take of the year: NYT oped argues @signalapp is bad because users might not know it strongly protects comms from surveillance. I, for one, am a “witting” advocate user. https://t.co/3JQ0gVTmOw”

Encrypted messaging might feel like an “extreme” conception of privacy until you consider the vast number of things we once did in surveillance-resistant private settings that now routinely take place online. It’s like complaining people are allowed to buy homes without hidden microphones because they might plan crimes in them.
@thedextriarchy I get this philosophically but would love to read a vision of how law enforcement happens in an e2e world. Is it just on-device surveillance? It's been hard to see past the noise from folks claiming there is no such thing as legitimate surveillance.
@krave
They get a warrant from a judge to seize and examine devices, or in some cases they may get a warrant from a judge to place spyware on a device.
@thedextriarchy
@krave @thedextriarchy it happens like it did before electronics. Seizing physical documents, infiltration, targeted surveillance.
