BTW, Aileen Cannon is a member of The Federalist Society, the same organization that was instrumental in the current composition of SCOTUS.
@Amoshias its a weird thing in #Florida (see below), but it was actually addressed by prosecution - the #SpecialCounsel's office said #Trump had created a situation w/ his public comments that couldn't wait the weekend to file.
Local Rule 88.9, says both parties must "meet & confer" before filing motions so the court & the parties' time is used efficiently.
There is no such thing as "#lawful#access". Encryption is #math. There is no math that the "good guys" can do but which cannot be done by the "bad guys".
Anyone who suggests different is #lying, to #spy on you.
We need people who understand encryption in charge of writing the laws about it.
Because this alone doesn't fix the problem. The problem isn't that we can't, it's that laws spawned from America make it a big crime to fix yourself.
"Encryption is just math, can't make math illegal" is as good as argument as "guns don't kill people, bullets do". It's missing the whole point. Because yes they can make math illegal. Books too. Even people. Therein lies the real problem, it's the laws.
@cazabon That's fair - it's my understanding that with public-private key encryption, it's essentially baked in to every message because if the decryption is still garbled, someone tried to modify the encrypted message...or someone used a different encryption key.
Which comes up with backdoors - because the current state is for a proxy to effectively act as a backdoor, both parties need to know its public key...and subsequently know that the proxy exists in-between them and their target.
#Meta is having a very bad year. The latest decision (issued by the #CJEU yesterday in Meta Platforms Inc, et al., v. Bundeskartellamt, C-C252/21) adds to their woes, but more importantly, I anticipate it will force us all to re-evaluate #processing, #lawful bases, special category data, and #inferences derived from that data.
In my article, I explore the case in detail, as well as some hypotheses on the impact of this decision broadly to #BigTech, with examples.
But I'm curious to hear your thoughts and observations. Am I being a Cassandra? Overly pessimistic? Completely overthinking this? What implications am I missing?
I'll note here (even though I didn't mention it in the article) that this may also portend the effective death of the One Stop Shop mechanism, which is already on shaky ground after the whole spat between the #DPC and other regulators. Who needs Ireland if competition authorities can also raise issues under the GDPR?
