Re:France rejects backdoor mandate by hamilyon2 on Saturday March 22, 2025 @07:32AM (#43445038)
Every good idea needs powerful PR. How about we start rallying around the term "software equivalent of cancer" which Tim Cook coined to describe encryption backdoor.

Speech matters. "Software cancer bill" sure sounds less appealing than "catch terrorists bill".

Nobody has to understand the details about why encryption backdoor is impossible to implement without breaking the encryption. It is too hard of a topic. I only understand it vaguely. Does it matter? You don't need phd in silicon design to know that chips are important.
