Quantum encryption will be even worse, for their purposes. The encrypted data cannot be "cracked" or copied without altering the actual data itself, thereby making these acts meaningless. Even though the concept has been around for a long time, it doesn't seem like these golden key guys have even heard of it.
There's no chance that any legislation that mandated a "golden key/backdoor" solution would not also include full and infinitely retroactive immunity from prosecution for any and all parties involved in the case of a breach and/or loss of the "golden key".
A more honest analogy would compare phones to computers, which is basically what they are. While a warrant may give cops access to someone's computer -- allowing them to seize it -- it does not guarantee they'll be able to access its contents.
Excellent point. And I suspect strongly that this guy is not as stupid as he seems, he's probably already got the white paper written for "banning/not banning" PGP and VeraCrypt* from desktop computers. For reasons.
It's already somewhat questionable that we extend copyright after death, but to enable an organization to claim that someone else has had a copyright in a work decades after his death when he did nothing during his own life to claim it seems exceptionally questionable.
Yeah, exactly. I mean, this is almost unbelievable, that an organization like this *actively* tried to deceive the court. Not accidentally, not negligently, freaking ACTIVELY. Heads should ROLL.
But, as we all know, nobody will even get their hand slapped, much less lose their job or even a day's pay.
Many schools have taken the stance that they have no recourse for students experiencing harassment on these sites. Students are therefore left to fend for themselves against vicious threats and harassment simply because it is conducted on a new platform.
I have an idea for the students experiencing the "vicious threats and harassment." Stop going to Yik Yak. Problem solved. I have no sympathy for people that feed trolls and then keep coming back for more.
