What the fuck is going on in the UK?

This is the whole argument for self custody of keys. If your content is encrypted with a key that never leaves your hardware, there’s nothing on device to scan and nothing to hand over. That’s what we’re building toward.

They want a backdoor into your phone. One door for the police is a door for hackers. Encryption is either absolute or useless. If you trade your privacy for safety, you lose both.

That's why I'm trying to explain all the time, how bad it is and which part they use as a weapon. Currently they weaponised hardware with locked bootloaders. Other hardware is impossible to control in such way. Any app can be patched on a normal non-locked hardware. So I repeat my warning, that peo...

UK Government has been hollowing out real policing and funding mass surveillance. They've cut investigators, blame encryption for their failure then demand backdoors instead of funding actual police work. This isn't about safety. It's policing on the cheap at scale. No warrants.

Have you watched silo? That's what is happening They took the piss too much for too long and got some casual push back, so they took the piss more to try to stop it. Got more push back and now we love in a country where real crime goes unpunished but talking about real crime is punished. And to cove...

They cannot force any such thing and some of these platforms can't do any such thing. Apparently the UK doesn't believe in sovereign nations even. They seem to think their besotted government is the boss of everyone.

Here's a more positive way to see it: All this freedom tech has come at the time when we need it most. We have the tools! The more they violate our privacy, the more attractive freedom tech becomes.
