The latest #ChatControl proposal is more extreme than the failed 2024 version: AI is to classify our photos as “suspicious”, secure #encryption is to be destoyed, indiscriminate mass scanning of our private chats.
Make sure your government opposes! https://chatcontrol.wtf
This week's net.wars, "Magic math balls", marvels at the escalation of the US-UK-Apple case of the backdoored encryption and wonders at the surrealism of "woke AI": https://netwars.pelicancrossing.net/2025/07/25/magic-math-balls/ #NetWars #encryption #Apple #AI

@froge and now we all learbed 3 things:
1. Just because it's written in #Rust doesn't make it secure.2. NEVER #DIY #encryption!3. #Software needs to be maintained and audited and maintained…!

I think that @cperciva et. al. made a good product & service with #Tarsnap and their #SelfCustody-based #encryption is solid.
- It's just that it is still a #SingleVendor / #SingleProvider solution and that #BDSG & #GDPR say "No!" when it comes to handing over data to 3rd parties outside the #EU that are subject to #CloudAct, regardless if it's considered 'unfeasible if not impossible' that they could ever decrypt it.

Pol UK; E2EE decryption backdoor, big privacy win
Trump got to Starmer!
UK backing down on Apple encryption backdoor after pressure from US
A tale in two posts:
A Five Eyes Nation (Canada) is trying to get a backdoor in E2EE.

The US is flexing against the UK's attempts to put a backdoor into Apple's infrastructure.
https://mastodon.matrix.org/@element/114896028995756996
Matrix is calling it a done deal, but they refer to things the prior administration did, (encourage citizens to use E2EE,) and the current one is too chaotic to count on that. Canada's disappointing, but not terribly surprising. Seems like it will be another hurdle to this.
Buh.

a bit of a digital flap
Some unrelated facts. (1/2)
(1) The UK and US are in dispute regarding attacks on #encryption (and the US is on the right side of the argument)
(2) The main protagonist within the US government expressing outrage is JD Vance, according to reports
(3) The UK wants to compromise with the US
(4) JD Vance is holidaying in the UK, and spending some time in the Cotswolds
(5) Chipping Norton is 30 miles from Cheltenham, where GCHQ is based
This could all be coincidence of course
My goodness - law of unexpected consequences - US pressure might have a small benefit
UK totalitarianism, one part of anyway (and frankly technical ineptitude and misunderstanding), might be halted in its tracks. We an only hope we don’t get the rest of US shite landed on us. But then Starmer considers Trump to be a family man, so who knows?
The Guardian · UK may back down on demand for backdoor access to Apple users’ encrypted data
UK forced to back down on #APPLE #encryption #Icloud bypass - duh - a trapdoor will make us all less safe - you idiots
UK online safety legislation is in tatters because it is fundamentally flawed.
#starmer - please ask for something that the tech giants can provide - the ability for users to distinguish between anonymous and verified origin content. Then we can have a chance to help our children not talk to nasty strangers.
Are we really supposed to believe #GCHQ will only read decrypted messages looking for paedophiles!
Technology exists for signatures with a trust chain and time stamping. UK government could provide these features and do us all a favour.

Ars Technica · UK backing down on Apple encryption backdoor after pressure from US
“One of the challenges for the tech partnerships we’re working on is the encryption issue,” the first official said. “It’s a big red line in the US—they don’t want us messing with their tech companies.”
Then again, not when it comes to "national security" in the USA. Their intelligence agencies are always looking for ways to counter encryption. Sheets from the stolen Snowden set tell us so.
