@alexstamos @matthew_d_green You are hypothesizing, and I disagreed with it. You still disagree, because you have, politely, a somewhat larger faith in the institution--OK, fine. But this is all secondary to the core problem: https://t.co/YBHLSwVpzR — PolitiTweet.org

Edward Snowden @Snowden

@alexstamos @matthew_d_green What I'm saying is you seem blind to the distinction between LE process and intelligence use. The whole NCMEC hypothetical here is your invocation, based on the (incorrect) inference that a company potential refusal to report on non-CSAM means the hit could not be exploited. — PolitiTweet.org

@iliyan_jivraj @alexstamos @matthew_d_green It took 12 years after 2001 to get hard evidence of mass surveillance. — PolitiTweet.org

@alexstamos @matthew_d_green That is entirely my point. — PolitiTweet.org

@alexstamos @matthew_d_green You're missing the forest for the NCMEC. — PolitiTweet.org

@alexstamos @matthew_d_green Further, it doesn't matter whether you trust NCMEC or not: you'll still be bound by your obligation to report under 2258a. No matter how blatantly they engage in an intelligence side-hustle, it doesn't hurt their CSAM reporting mission. — PolitiTweet.org

Edward Snowden @Snowden

@alexstamos @matthew_d_green History does not support your confidence in believing the government would never risk long-term trust in a tiny organization, much less and industry of key national importance, for a short-term operational advantage in intelligence capability. — PolitiTweet.org

Edward Snowden @Snowden

@iliyan_jivraj @alexstamos @matthew_d_green That's the entire point: e2e only matters if the endpoints are secure. Otherwise it's just marketing. — PolitiTweet.org

@scriban2 @alexstamos @matthew_d_green Apple would never know they've even been lied to. Neither the FBI nor their partners would announce what happened, and due to the classification, they would consider that lawful. — PolitiTweet.org

Edward Snowden @Snowden

@alexstamos @matthew_d_green The bottom line is that once Apple crafts a mechanism the mass surveillance of iPhones (no matter how carefully implemented), they lose the ability to determine what purposes it is used for. That question passes to the worst lawmakers in the worst countries. — PolitiTweet.org

Edward Snowden @Snowden

@alexstamos @matthew_d_green But look, every one of us understands that it really doesn't matter what Apple's claimed process protections are: once they create the capability, the law will change to direct its application. — PolitiTweet.org

Edward Snowden @Snowden

@alexstamos @matthew_d_green Step 1.6 is NCMEC shrugging, deflecting by saying "hash collision?" And then the FBI makes an arrest since, by asking WTF, your company just confirmed a hit on the hash (since otherwise you wouldn't have been able to see the image was BS). — PolitiTweet.org

The last time China stamped an inappropriate demand for access, @Apple sold out their users out. To quote them: “While we advocated against iCloud being subject to these laws, we were ultimately unsuccessful." (LINK1: https://t.co/ohV464BLAU LINK2: https://t.co/SmS9lb28q5) — PolitiTweet.org

Apple's new iPhone contraband-scanning system is now a national security issue. They just openly admitted they have no answer for what to do when China comes knocking. Hard to understate how disastrous this new system is for iPhone security. Tim Cook needs to intervene. — PolitiTweet.org

Among the “crimes” that Hale was convicted was exposing the secret watchlisting rulebook used to label people, including U.S. citizens, as “known or suspected terrorists” without evidence that they did anything wrong. https://t.co/Auwe7XuOOG — PolitiTweet.org
