@mattblaze Well, this is true, but I hope we can agree that the worst time to highlight hypocrisy is when we are about to see change for the better

1. Hypocrisy is advocating one thing while doing the opposite, which is not what the FBI is being criticized for here. They’re being criticized for being (very) late in advocating an important safeguard. See “closing the barn door…” etc.

2. The FBI is not an individual with feelings that must be protected. It’s a powerful, publicly funded institution subject to public scrutiny and criticism, at least for the time being.

@me @mattblaze

they still promote LE / IC access to encrypted
data via “trusted” tech companies retaining everyone’s encryption keys & oppose E2EE encryption¹𝄒², so there’s a [ citation needed ] for your assertion that “we are about to see change for the better”

maybe we should expect organisations to demonstrate that they have genuinely changed their position / policy / actions over an extended period of time before we start handing out cookies
