jBrereton posted:Amber Rudd in pretending that Whatsapp isn't already compromised shocker That doesn't really mean it's compromised. That the government would need WhatsApp to change the encryption keys shows that they can't crack the encryption. And they'd need access to someone's phone (look at "How dangerous is this?") to use it to trick their contacts into revealing something incriminating. They could just read past messages on that phone anyway, in that case.

Pretty much the entire crypto and security community strongly condemned the Guardian for publishing it. https://whispersystems.org/blog/there-is-no-whatsapp-backdoor/ https://techcrunch.com/2017/01/20/security-researchers-call-for-guardian-to-retract-false-whatsapp-backdoor-story/ https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nqlE6UQjbUmgoMeJCePVcY5flqn8hAhmfIjeVE8PnEk/edit Also I can't believe that first story missed the best bit: https://www.buzzfeed.com/matthewchampion/necessary-hashtags quote:But in her Marr interview, Rudd reiterated that she did not see legislation as the answer, preferring instead to convince tech companies to voluntarily agree to tackle the issue.

Not that anybody would be dense enough to do that, of course...

Short term brexit is good for me, cause the fall of the pound means i get lots of cheap poo poo from amazon uk, but long-term it's gonna suck, as a weaker EU is more vulnerable to political and economic pressure from East and West.

Given them a medal imo. Unless it was to their family or something. TinTower posted:Bolting the stable door when the horse is halfway to China Honestly there's been a lot of really poor decision making going on here but Labour have actually managed to get themselves into a good spot on Brexit. No one can criticise them for opposing the will of the British people but by setting conditions which mean little changes for the worse or being able to state for the next 2 years that they won't support the particulars of Brexit as it comes out they'll win a lot of support pretty much no matter what happens.

I thought this was mildly amusing: quote:Sir Keir, who will outline Labour's demands in a speech on Monday, told BBC One's Andrew Marr Show: "If our tests are not met then we do not intend to support the deal the government comes back with." Making the government's own ridiculous rhetoric part of Labour's tests is definitely the right way to go at this point.

Less than 24 hours left for Northern Ireland to try to come up with an agreed government or it's looking like another election. Naturally the DUP aren't negotiating today cause it is the LORDS DAY so actually it's a bit less

WeAreTheRomans posted:Is there much point in another election? Not much no but Sinn Fein said they will not accept an extension via emergency legislation and the Irish and British government's have both made it clear they are cold on suspending devolution so another election seems likely as the only remaining course of action. Wonder if May will still visit as part of her much heralded pre-Article 50 tour of the devolved regions

What happens if/when the election result is more or less exactly the same? I assume Arlene Foster is unlikely to step down- is there anything that can/will actually change here?

It's escalated beyond the DUP/SF disagreements now - the Government is getting equal flack from SF over the legacy issue and Irish language act and they are calling on the Irish government to lodge official complaints against the British government for failing to fulfil treaty commitments at the UN/ other international courts. They are quite keen to point out this the government's negotiating stance is as much to blame as the DUPs in their opinion

Prince John posted:Any likelihood of Sinn Fein becoming the largest party on the re-run, since they came so close last time? Depends if there is a panicked unionist face-saving strategy - there has been a lot of chatter about Unionist Unity since the last election even from commentators critical of the DUP. RHI has kind of drifted into the background so there is a chance a "Keep Sinn Fein out" vote mobilization could yield better results than last election. Though SF and other nationalist commentators think the sea-change in mobilized nationalist voters in the last election has killed the prospect of that happening. If there's another election it will be a test for Unionism to see if they can mobilize votes and if a silent non-voting unionist voting bloc still exists/can be tapped

Skinty McEdger posted:If there is a rerun election, how long a period are we looking at before another vote? Brokenshire has some wiggle room in that he only has to call an election within a "reasonable time" but convention is usually 6 six weeks from the announcement of a new election, he might put off announcing a polling date until post Article 50 so maybe the second week in May?

Jeremy was so incredubky long winded. asked about his shoot to kill comments he went on and on about context, and how when he said it he was talking about the Irish policy in the 80s. Then he gave a 500 word response about Prevent without answering the very soft question! Must be between scriptwriters at the moment but I still think Milne has to go he must have some dirt on someone
