The FBI obtained encryption keys from Microsoft to unlock BitLocker-encrypted laptops and Microsoft complied.

That’s a sharp break from past industry resistance to key handovers.

@wtrmt @evacide Meta doth weave the threads of encryption, Meta bestoweth the service, and Meta doth unlock.

@evacide
Someone clarify me please 🤔

If e2ee happens from client to client, means a closed proprietary app like WhatsApp can use the decrypted messages at the client level & do can steal it even though the connection is marketed as e2ee

Am I right, or I'm missing out something?

Coz I see the option to send last 5 messages to meta when I report a spam and block the number.

So the e2ee is useless if the client is closed source right? 🤔

BitLocker로 드라이브를 암호화하더라도 누가 암호화 키를 통제하느냐가 문제라며, Microsoft가 법적 명령이 있을 경우 FBI에 BitLocker 암호화 키를 제공하겠다고 확인했다는 TechRadar 기사 링크를 공유합니다. 사용자의 데이터 통제·프라이버시·법적 접근 이슈를 지적하는 내용입니다.

And yes, this can and will be weaponized against any non-#Govware - #backdoored #OS & -Device.

#Microsoft doesn't even hide the fact that they got a #Backdoor in #BitLocker.
#Apple certainly is both able and willing to unlock #iOS & #macOS devices as they have all the keys and literally snitched on users in the "P.R." #China.
#Russia literally sues @delta / #deotaChat for neither collecting user data nor providing them with #backdoors.

In fact, #Australia banning #SecureDevices and -#Encryption came just after their #HoneyPot "#ANØM" aka. #OperationIronside aka. #OperationTrøjanShield had to end and they had to bust the users as #Estonia was unwilling to extend the permission to host the infrastructure on it's soil on behalf if #FBI & #AFP!

Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption

A lawsuit filed in San Francisco alleges that #WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption contains backdoors allowing #Meta employees to access user messages in real-time.

According to the complaint, internal tools allow engineers to view chats by User ID without a separate decryption step, bypassing the Signal Protocol protections the app claims to use.

The lawsuit cites £whistleblowers who claim that workers can request access to specific accounts via internal tasks, gaining unlimited temporal scope to a user's history, including deleted messages. Meta has labeled these claims false and absurd.

Technical experts note that while the Signal Protocol itself is mathematically secure, the integrity of end-to-end encryption relies entirely on the security of the endpoints. Potential vulnerabilities in WhatsApp include unencrypted cloud backups, metadata collection, and the fact that the client software is closed-source.

Without the ability to audit the code or verify public keys through an independent directory, users must trust that the application is not exfiltrating plaintext data before it is encrypted for transit.

The legal action highlights the ongoing tension between corporate privacy marketing and the technical reality of centralized messaging platforms. If the allegations of an internal "widget" for message access are proven true, it would represent a fundamental breach of the encryption standards Meta has advertised since 2016.

The New “Signalgate”: Kash Patel’s First Amendment Fail – Cato at Liberty Blog

The New “Signalgate”: Kash Patel’s First Amendment Fail

By Patrick G. Eddington

I suppose it was just a matter of time before a Trump administration official would suggest that the use of public key encryption—protected by the First Amendment—to monitor federal agent misconduct was itself allegedly a crime.

NBC News reported on January 27 that on the Benny Johnson podcast, FBI Director Kash Patel announced that the FBI was investigating the use by Minneapolis residents of the Signal encrypted messaging app as a means of allegedly impeding ICE immigration enforcement operations. This is another epic constitutional and legal fail by Patel.

Here are some very inconvenient historical and legal facts that invalidate the legitimacy of any such “investigation” of Minneapolis anti-ICE protesters’ use of Signal or any other publicly available encryption technology:

As a National Security Agency (NSA) history notes, many of the Founders—including but not limited to Jefferson and Madison—regularly used “codes and ciphers” (the term of art for encryption back in their day) before, during, and after the Revolution to communicate with each other. The use of encryption to keep government authorities from getting access to our private communications is literally as American as apple pie.
Nearly 30 years ago, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in a landmark case that “Government efforts to control encryption thus may well implicate not only the First Amendment rights of cryptographers intent on pushing the boundaries of their science, but also the constitutional rights of each of us as potential recipients of encryption’s bounty. Viewed from this perspective, the government’s efforts to retard progress in cryptography may implicate the Fourth Amendment, as well as the right to speak anonymously.”

That decision is why we have the phrase “code is speech,” and why apps like Signal and their use by citizens are protected by the First Amendment. And the use of that digitally encrypted speech to coordinate peaceful protest activity (like monitoring ICE for acts of brutality) is likewise First Amendment-protected activity.

The actual criminal conduct that should be investigated is the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, who likewise were engaged in First Amendment-protected activities at the moment they were fatally shot in broad daylight by ICE personnel.

Alex Pretti

If Patel and his boss, Attorney General Pam Bondi, were actually fulfilling their constitutional oaths, they’d be doing exactly that in full cooperation with Minnesota law enforcement authorities. That they are actively stiff-arming those state authorities tells us all we need to know about the political illegitimacy of Trump’s Justice Department.
