US border cops must get warrants to search phones, devices – EFF

Border

Search at the border is disingenuous. I don't recall ever seeing anything in the constitution saying that any part to the United States of America was exempt from the constitution, much less any part of the USA within 200 miles of the border (which includes the better part of the entire population, most of which are US citizens.) Things are out of hand, we need to correct our course and sail away from this police state the current SCOTUS is trying to steer us into.

Re: The mind absolutely boggles.

They don't need unlimited manpower and time, only the right manpower and enough time, just like anyone else who designs silicon.

US government: We can jail you indefinitely for not decrypting your data

How in the world can they claim a file hashes to the same as known kiddy porn, when it's an encrypted drive, not just an encrypted file? They would have to be able to determine what sectors were to what file, which shouldn't be possible if the filesystem itself is encrypted.

That's not ripe for abuse, it's obviously rotten.

Re: The USA:

My concern is that one could easily visit a site with an image to one of these child porn sites, and it would be recorded as having visited and downloaded an image, *before* you could even know it had occurred. Just like the links to facebook and twitter download icons from them and record your browsing habits. The only way to prevent such is to know in advance what sites to block, which is incredibly difficult knowing how many sites that exist on the internet, which nobody really knows with any certainty, anyway.

China's cybersecurity law grants government 'unprecedented' control over foreign tech

Help Internet freedom.

A new modern program analogous to Radio-Free Europe needs to be setup. High power WIFI beaming across the borders of China, providing small open source encryption binaries, that can be used and dumped immediately, wiping any traces of having been used.

Out of your jurisdiction.

再见,中国 顺便说一下,他妈的你

'Independent' gov law reviewer wants users preemptively identified before they're 'allowed' to use encryption

This is proof positive that ignorance is flat out dangerous to freedom. Education is definitely the first step to being free.
