Prole posted:They always bang on about "abolishing" e2e. Any attempt will go the same way as when they wanted to make people go to the off-licence to buy a Porn Pass. Just another story that not much of the general public understand the details of, but sounds good from a Law and Order perspective... Desperate stuff from the gov imo It suggests that the wheels have come off a bit in the Home Office if the things that usually get blocked by their physical impossibility are being briefed.

Yeah, I think there are like 3 or 4 different factions, none of which feels the need anymore to behave themselves when it comes to briefing the papers without running it past No10, all fighting to get some press so their candidate will be able to climb over the broken bodies of the rest to become the next PM.

I'm a pro-business MP and want the sort of frictionless commerce that will unleash the animal spirits of the free market. So naturally I am going to vote for a law that means after you buy something on amazon, you'll have to ring them up to pay.

keep punching joe posted:I'm not that techy a person, but would I be right in saying that attempting to ban e2e encryption is futile and probably impossible? It's not impossible to *ban*, just impossible to enforce. Well actually it's not even particularly impossible to enforce, you just end up breaking the entire internet these days because even dead gay comedy forums have end to end encryption. What they actually want is for Meta (and other real-time messaging providers) to break e2e encryption for them, so that it fits into the same regulatory and technical measures space as email, SMS and older, centralised messaging protocols - for there effectively to be an unencrypted copy of messages sent and received somewhere within reach of authorities (or, more importantly, somewhere within reach of authorities *without* them having to physically seize a device). Right now, despite the happy little padlock in the address bar above these words, if the authorities wanted to they could have a copy of all my posts for  and all of my DMs for whatever multiple of it costs them to get an administrative subpoena in wherever SA is based since the sale. Meta though do not have a copy of any of my WhatsApp messages, and the only way the authorities could get them is by seizing my phone. Of course the whole raison d'etre of WhatsApp and the rest of the post-Snowden generation of messaging protocols is specifically to exclude such a convenient information spigot for  and pals to pull from but, crucially, actual proper zero-trust messaging is *hard*. In particular it's almost certain that Meta do at the very least have a capability to grab the keys used in the encryption on setup of the initial chat (because, like I say, zero-trust messaging is extremely hard and requires nerdy poo poo) even if they don't currently do so, and this is *probably* what the spooks actually want. If they can get that, and are already intercepting the encrypted traffic through the existing legal framework to do so, they can then decode that encrypted traffic. Meta might even be willing to go along with that - for a price - because they have literally no financial incentive to keep WhatsApp going. They bought it more or less on a whim hoping to replace Facebook Messenger - a shockingly bad bit of software that people were abandoning in droves for WA - but there's no way at all to monetise it, or rather no way to monetise it the way they want to. Facebook relies on reading your messages to build up ever more data on you both for onward sale and advert targeting, but they can't do that without breaking the existing protocol terminally (and very obviously). Being paid a huge sum of money by Five Eyes to run a centralised data store of keys would at least earn them some cash.

This is probably part of the reason he is holding on, how many ministers are in attendance? I wonder if Cummings still has any loyalty to Gove, he is someone who probably wants Bojo to have a slow end while he rebuilds.

Crossposting from the early FPS thread over in retro games, but if anyone has an xbox console and about £5, TimeSplitters 2-3 are on sale on Xbox Live now, about £2 each. Super bright and colourful games with excellent multiplayer, hard recommend especially if you love/hate monkeys. Made by some lovely people in Nottingham

Much like Steve Bannon's unwashed degenerate gambler wearing multiple dress shirts look. Some people are just too smart and important to waste their time with petty human concerns like getting dressed and not looking like reheated shite. I say this fully in the knowledge that I haven't washed my jeans for over a month now and have slept in my shirt.
