The FBI Should Stop Attacking Encryption and Tell Congress About All the Encrypted Phones It's Already Hacking Into

[John Young]

Worth considering that FBI's public critique of encryption is (has 
always been) a cover for their cracking capablities.

This is standard disinformation for spies, natsec, budgets, lately 
for the mushrooming, bloated cybersecurity  industry.

Coming on strong for disinfo is capacious leaking, malware, 
ransomware, election interference, foreign hacking, and seemingly 
unstoppable prattle about press freedom.

Privacy and anonymity are the monsters of disinfo even as all the 
advocates boost their income with warnings and letting their log 
files be subpoened, hacked, siphoned, stolen, harvested, third 
partied with lousy data protection, inept administrators, corruptible 
executives.

To be sure, the entire internet is a boondoggle and none of it is 
trustworthy, but is gradually becoming as much of an uncontrollable 
invention as the atomic bomb, both US creations, and both with a bevy 
of orignal inventors apologizing for what they wrought, reaped 
rewards and honors for, propose useless ways of correcting, bemoan 
futile proliferation.
