Gregory's Server@evacide Yeah, it's really kind of frustrating when the retort from someone like Raymond Chen is that "But the attacker is already through the air-tight hatch by then." That doesn't mean you should make their job easy, what the heck?

 @ashteranic @evacide Yeah, that. "Attacker is already on the other side of the airtight hatch" a retort that makes sense in some situations, but I dare say not in this one. Simply that the data *exists* puts it at risk. Anyone who thinks that nation-state actors or domestic abuser wouldn't LOVE to have this ability is naïve. Same reason why I argue that in politics, just because a later government *could* do something bad (for some value of bad) doesn't mean that you should do it *for* them. |
@ashteranic @evacide yeah there are many security topics where that's a sound principle. the domestic abuse threat model is not one of them.
