nostr:npub1yyx7sllvsrr0fauh2rdlqk5rakf3963g9xk4a7j5uhfcs00lr3kq42qa5g of all tech companies, it’s this sort of thing that makes me have a greater level of trust in Apple. But running a family exclusively on Apple devices is a privileged position. Once again, it’s worrying that digital privacy is now a premium service rather than a basic right.

nostr:npub1yyx7sllvsrr0fauh2rdlqk5rakf3963g9xk4a7j5uhfcs00lr3kq42qa5g Apple have opened a Pandora’s box here. Until now technologists have been telling govements that you either have E2EE, which cannot be scanned, or you have insecure systems; there is no in between. Governments will surely now seize upon this as proof that it can be done.

However _if_ this leads to governments banning E2EE - would this have been the lesser evil?
