In which @benjaminwittes continues his braindead jihad against encryption.https://twitter.com/benjaminwittes/status/626710837856706561 …
Benjamin Wittes@csoghoian I am not sure at all that Apple is not doing the right thing by encrypting end to end.

@benjaminwittes And is Apple doing the right thing or wrong thing by backing up those same messages, unencrypted, to its iCloud service? -
@lofdev@csoghoian The service in question is public key management. -
@benjaminwittes@lofdev also, delivery of messages.

@benjaminwittes@csoghoian Your theory of why these hypothetical civil claims against Apple aren't barred by 47 U.S.C. § 230 is … ? -
@grimmelm I don't think 230 covers point to point communications. It's a liability shield for restricting access to offensive content. -
@benjaminwittes (1) 230 applies to email, which is also point-to-point. (Batzel v. Smith) (2) iMessage pushes messages through Apple servers -
@grimmelm@benjaminwittes Any follow up on this Ben? 230 is a pretty steep civil barrier to overcome.

@benjaminwittes That's like "I'm not sure that building locks for doors is a good idea" - are you an total idiot or just well bribed. - Show more

@benjaminwittes@csoghoian Especially if the theory is that Apple is liable for not cutting off a communications service after a warrant. -
@benjaminwittes@csoghoian In the background behind that one is the First Amendment. -
@benjaminwittes@csoghoian who is this jerk Wittes? I think I deserve to be innocent until proven guilty. Get a warrant! -
@benjaminwittes@csoghoian NOT encrypting communication is irresponsible and should be banned. I don't want to have my accounts hacked. -
@benjaminwittes@csoghoian BTW, you're using the phrase "end to end" wrong, unless you're talking about iMessage, rather than disk crypto. -
@benjaminwittes@csoghoian Does your twitter URL begin with https:// by any chance? -
@benjaminwittes@csoghoian Trusting 3td parties is what's wrong with most current systems. They simply cannot be trusted. -
@benjaminwittes@csoghoian I am and you can pound sand.
