In their self inflicted blindness to what misfortune looks like the self pity knows no boundaries.Īlso: no one loves me! I wonder why that is? They keep trying to spend money to buy happiness but all they get is cheap thrills. In their ego trip they end up feeling sorry for themselves. The endless rationalization of the irrational takes a huge amount of time until they graduate themselves in the DIY course in psychopathy. They in stead keep telling themselves they can't do anything for others knowing they are lying. At some point you can chose to go look for people who need our help, do something for the town, the city, the country, humanity etc There is tremendous joy to be had in this process and it builds character. When that too is a reasonable success we start doing stuff for people we interact with less frequently.

When sufficiently comfortable or successful at that we start caring for people we interact with on a daily basis. We all put thoughts into our own well being. Are you suggesting I could make more productive use of my time? I'm happy to celebrate individual breackthroughs but let's not forget that without (metaphorically) nailing the culprits to the cross who are responsible for ICE contracts or privacy invasive tech there isn't even a point in complaining about all the horrid stuff these people (working for these companies) do. it's just a group of people who can be evil and who hide behind the facade of the "legal person" statute. Maybe we should think twice before applauding FAANG engineers in future posts because Technology isn't neutral. Some serious cognitive dissonace is going on - either that or it's the effects of the news-cycle making us blind to it. whether it's project-zero or some fb framework we seem to be OK with praising their employees while at the same time hating how they use that innovation. With all the daily (justified) outrage against FB/Google I struggle to understand why the community here is happy to applaud these companies for its innovation on specific projects or the work of specific engineers. To give people comfort that unencrypted messages ate safe, it is sold as as "it's in your own Google drive" People are convinced to opt in because it's the only way to change devices while keeping your messages.

I've not heard of one against WhatsApp.Įrgo - the most like scenario is that this feature is deliberately built keeping messages un-encrypted so that when law enforcement shows up with a warrant or a muzzled warrant, they can just hand over the archive without weakening their app. On the gripping hand, all high profile cases trying to compell tech companies to provide evidence have been against Apple.

On the other hand, no security researcher seems to have found or at least reported a back door in the WhatsApp apps that supports MITM undetectable to physical key verification which is the obvious weakness in an end to end encryption system based on centralised key repository system. See BlackBerry cases from some years ago) So how are they getting access to the messages if there's truly end to end encryption? Also there are any number of Governments in the important non-US markets that would simply ban WhatsApp if they didn't have access against a warrant (eg. The ability of prosecutors to compell unlocking after arrest in US is questionable. On one hand - even after end to end encryption, we continue to see WhatsApp messages quoted in prosecution including in SEC actions and prosecutors are clearly getting access to messages even pre-arrest. I'm not saying it's a legal requirement, I'm saying it's likely a smart tacit compromise. There is a benefit associated or this decision would not have been taken. That decision had costs, and the process had costs.

I try not to attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity, deadlines or missing budgets, but in this case, there was a decision to remove encryption, that required negotiating with a rival. > I think their design philosophy here is likely "let's err on the side of smooth UX But then, one day, it stopped counting against your quota and the encryption disappeared. Without that, the local backup is useless.Īnd IIRC, they ALSO did the same with Google Drive. They had, in fact, perfected the local encrypted seamless "something went wrong" workflow - they keys are delivered from the server (stored or generated, I don't know) once you've proved you can receive texts on that phone number. > The design is pretty clearly to support the bog standard backup use case of "something happened to my device, I got a new one, I want my old data". In fact, they don't support unencrypted locally.
