@delta Also #FuckRoskomnadnozr and other #Cyberfacists!

@netzpolitik_feed Die Forderung sollte lauten: „Eine Debatte für (geplante) #Backdoors darf es garnicht geben, schließlich baut man sowas garnicht ein und fordert sie garnicht erst.“

@lorenzofb lets just say #Skype didn't do a good job and was not only able but willing to integrate #Govware & #Backdoors!

  • And since it was never #FLOSS one could not trust it at all...

@dazo @MarionDonnelly @murena @e_mydata @red_rooster @georgetakei not to mention #Apple is not only capable but willing to shove in #Govware #Backdoors.

So their claims re: #privacy and #security are "#TrustMeBro!" at best if not blatant lies.

Remember: #AllGAFAMsAreBad and #KerckhoffsPrinciple demands #transparency!

@Triddle @n_dimension @shaknais @maxleibman granted, if the Australian Government was actually competent and consequent they'd have to ban unencrypted comms.

But that's not what they did...

Needless to say they demand #Govware #Backdoors on devices and services…

The debate over government-mandated backdoors in cybersecurity has divided experts, policymakers, and tech companies. Proponents argue that backdoors are essential for national security, law enforcement investigations, and counterterrorism efforts. Critics, however, warn that such...

"Zu groß ist die Sorge, dass auch Staatsfeinde diese sogenannten Blackdoors nutzen könnten."

Bei der @tagesschau kennt man sich aus mit der Farbe von #Backdoors. 😬

My colleagues at CEA in #Paris, France, are hiring a 2-year #postdoc to work on the joint research project #SECUBIC about #fuzzing binaries to identify #backdoors. (See this recently joint work at #ICSE2025 for previous results: upsilon.cc/~zack/research/publ )

If you're interested, or know interested candidates, head to: secubic-ptcc.github.io/jobs/op for details.

"At least Florida’s SB 868/HB 743, “Social Media Use By Minors” bill isn’t beating around the bush when it states that it would require “social media platforms to provide a mechanism to decrypt end-to-end encryption when law enforcement obtains a subpoena.” Usually these sorts of sweeping mandates are hidden behind smoke and mirrors, but this time it’s out in the open: Florida wants a backdoor into any end-to-end encrypted social media platforms that allow accounts for minors. This would likely lead to companies not offering end-to-end encryption to minors at all, making them less safe online.

Encryption is the best tool we have to protect our communication online. It’s just as important for young people as it is for everyone else, and the idea that Florida can “protect” minors by making them less safe is dangerous and dumb.

The bill is not only privacy-invasive, it’s also asking for the impossible."

#Koalitionsvertrag RN 2619:
"Mit ... zeitgemäßen digitalen Befugnissen, neuen Fähigkeiten ..."

Da haben wir die üblichen Wiederkehrer der #Digitalpolitik: #Vorratsdatenspeicherung, Quellen-TKÜ, #Backdoors für Angriffe nutzen, statt sie zu schließen passt alles da rein.

(beim Weiterlesen: Details ab RN2630: "Wir führen eine verhältnismäßige und europa- und verfassungsrechtskonforme dreimonatige Speicherpflicht für IP-Adressen und Portnummern ein, um diese einem Anschlussinhaber zuordnen zu können. Im Rahmen ihrer begrenzten Zuständigkeit ermöglichen wir der Bundespolizei zur Bekämpfung schwerer Straftaten die Quellen-TKÜ ohne Zugriff auf retrograd gespeicherte Daten."

Nachtrag 2, RN2680: "Im Rahmen des verfassungsrechtlich Möglichen bauen wir unsere Fähigkeiten zur aktiven Cyberabwehr aus." bringt dann auch die Backdoors.)

"Granting Europol the ability to access encrypted data can only mean one thing: Brussels is proposing some form of government-mandated backdoor for communication platforms protected by end-to-end encryption. These systems are notoriously difficult to breach, making them a challenge for law enforcement. However, security researchers have repeatedly demonstrated that implementing so-called "lawful" backdoors is inherently flawed as such vulnerabilities would inevitably be discovered, accessed, and exploited by cybercriminals and black-hat hackers."—Alfonso Maruccia

@JessTheUnstill @Pibble Yes and no.

The sheer ability and willingness of Apple to do this makes them inherently untrustworty.

#iOS is not like @GrapheneOS where you have means to audit it's integrity on the fly built-in.
