@gruber @anildash @stevesi @_sreev @JoannaStern I don’t know what they’re going to do. I do know that announcing it, getting scorched, changing details, and then announcing an indefinite delay is a “walkback” tho — PolitiTweet.org

@gruber @anildash @stevesi @_sreev @JoannaStern They announced they’re not shipping it indefinitely! — PolitiTweet.org

@gruber @anildash @stevesi @_sreev @JoannaStern John this is just a weird look, especially after Apple had to walk back the photo scanning. They are not good at getting civil liberty buy-in before doing this stuff, and they need to get much better — PolitiTweet.org

@counternotions @ramkanda @gruber @stevesi @_sreev @JoannaStern 📢 presenting your identification to law enforcement is a fraught situation and thinking the issues are orthogonal to a “HW/SW solution” is tremendously naive 📢 — PolitiTweet.org

@hold_th @gruber @counternotions @stevesi @_sreev @JoannaStern If your phone fails at the TSA you have almost immediate recourse to get a paper ticket. Not so with your license — PolitiTweet.org

@gruber @jimmylittle @counternotions @stevesi @_sreev @JoannaStern Tell me what nefarious reason the TSA has it set up like that and I’ll let you know — PolitiTweet.org

@notjohnlee @davezatz @JoannaStern I really must warn you that it is not a … great product. But when it works, it works — PolitiTweet.org

@stevesi @WaltFrench @gruber @_sreev @JoannaStern I’ll just tell the cop that there’s a Supreme Court decision — PolitiTweet.org

@bergmayer It’s funny because this is the backstop that makes digital boarding passes somewhat okay in airports — the phone doesn’t work, you can pretty easily get paper — PolitiTweet.org

Not presuming how bad actors will abuse your product is the cardinal sin of the entire tech industry. How many times must we learn this lesson — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@stevesi @counternotions @gruber @_sreev @JoannaStern You are naive beyond measure — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@counternotions @stevesi @gruber @_sreev @JoannaStern So yeah, I'm going to keep presuming that cops will abuse the tools they are given. Apple should too — PolitiTweet.org

@counternotions @stevesi @gruber @_sreev @JoannaStern All of you should try being brown in an interaction with the cops. This cop during this traffic stop asked me if I was the owner of my own car and quizzed me on the model year to confirm. — PolitiTweet.org

@stevekovach Yes, and in general every tech company is trying to set terms of how they will be attributed in increasingly aggressive ways — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

Also: Apple sent this statement “on the record” with instruction to attribute it to Apple. Which is a fun redefinition of on the record! — PolitiTweet.org

Apple is delaying its photo scanning features after the backlash. Amazing how secrecy and hubris turned what could have been a major win - encrypted iCloud - into a communications disaster https://t.co/aK2eGEQNAm — PolitiTweet.org
