Gregory's Server@DarcMoughty @jgilbert look Apple can eat my whole ass but they famously tell the federal government to suck their dick every time they want a terrorist's iPhone unlocked, so it's definitely in Meta's power to value their customer's privacy.

 @DarcMoughty @jgilbert dang right they do. If it's on the cloud the FBI has seen it. Like I said, Apple can eat my whole ass. But you know they can unlock phones. The only reason they don't is because they don't want that information public. Facebook could do the same thing and claim DMs are encrypted and unable to be read. We all know it's bullshit, but they'd gain public support so the police couldn't push them on it. @Beeks @jgilbert I have a less cynical view. Meta offers a free product that has the end-to-end encryption that Facebook should, but setting it up is a bit harder, so it's not the default for their mainline product. I'm not upset at Meta on this; if you wanna do crimes, regardless of whether they ought not be crimes where you live, WhatsApp is right there. |
@Beeks @jgilbert That's not the same. Apple says they *can't* unlock phones. They don't have the ability to satisfy a warrant for encrypted data on a phone. I'll bet you a new gas grill that they comply with warrants for iCloud data and location stuff just like everyone else.
