@pathetiq Hey I was just thinking of you the other day as I might head up to QC this New Years Eve.

Apple is FINALLY adding a key transparency mechanism to iMessage:

This has always been a huge weakness of iMessage, and I'm glad to see it finally being addressed.

Blog - Advancing iMessage security: iMessage Contact Key Verification - Apple Security Research

iMessage broke new ground in 2011 as the first widely available messaging service to provide secure end-to-end encryption by default. Ever since, we’ve been making ongoing improvements to iMessage security to protect our users’ most sensitive communications. This brief technical overview introduces the security model behind iMessage Contact Key Verification, a new feature available in the developer previews of iOS 17.2, macOS 14.2, and watchOS 10.2, that advances the state of the art of key directory security in messaging systems and allows users to verify they’re messaging only with the people they intend.

@enot @mainframed767 Been a while but this would be a blast to read.

Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994; mass shootings dropped by 43%.

George W. Bush and the GOP let the assault weapons ban expire in 2004; mass shootings increased by 245%.

These numbers tell the whole story.
