quote:

Home Secretary Amber Rudd has accused technology experts of "patronising" and "sneering" at politicians who try to regulate their industry.
She said Silicon Valley had to do more to help the authorities access messages on end-to-end encrypted services like WhatsApp.
And she said she did not need to understand how they worked to know they were "helping criminals".


She insisted she does not want "back doors" installed in encryption codes, something the industry has warned will weaken security for all users, nor did she want to ban encryption, just to allow easier access by police and the security services.
Asked by an audience member if she understood how end-to-end encryption actually worked, she said: "It's so easy to be patronised in this business. We will do our best to understand it.
"We will take advice from other people but I do feel that there is a sea of criticism for any of us who try and legislate in new areas, who will automatically be sneered at and laughed at for not getting it right."
She added: "I don't need to understand how encryption works to understand how it's helping - end-to-end encryption - the criminals.

My thoughts as well. Governments demanding access to source for things they're using in sensitive applications isn't exactly unusual. On top of that, if disclosure of source code is a risk to anything other than the vendor's business model it means their security is pretty hosed to begin with.

yes, file starts when there is information that can be relevant to the decision making by financial institutions. that can be way before the first loan, for example if you are a felon

my friend had a promotion held up for two months because the background check agency used thought he had an arrest record because... someone in a completely different state, 15 years older than him and with a different first AND last name came up somehow. they still required him to appeal it and gather evidence that no, he hadn't ever lived in the midwest and definitely didn't time travel and yes this is in fact his name it is the one that was written on the loving form that you were supposed to check

like how do you even gently caress up that badly :psyduck:

e: oh and they didn't tell him any of this at first, just that YOU HAVE AN ARREST RECORD, you have to actually get the background check results (which costs money iirc) and dispute them specifically, because gently caress you

iirc the background check company listed "known aliases" as blank but who knows if that's accurate since nothing else they did was accurate

e: also his name is real weird so if the guy did he either stole his identity (which seems unlikely since there's no other evidence of that) or randomly picked a super weird name
