“ Justice Minister Eric Dupond-Moretti insisted the bill would affect only “dozens of cases a year.“ “
Then why the hell go through all the work to make a new law?? (Obviously a rhetorical question…)
Authoritarianism is on the rise atm.
I think I saw after initial anger, they were saying things were calming down. Maybe they don’t want to let it. Maybe they want to expand state operations.
How exactly are they planning to remotely activate a phone camera and microphone?
Is this an already built in feature? Are they installing spyware on devices to do this?
Go back to when Snowden released his documents. This is backdoors built into the mobile devices for governments secret use. It’s such a shame he gave his freedom for the general public to ignore his warnings
Really? I don’t remember that.
From what I remember there was some security vulnerabilities that the government either didn’t disclose or told the device makers to hold off on fixing. But all of those were exploits not purpose built backdoors at least as far as we know.
Basically I am asking is this bill basically allowing Police to hack devices.
Pegasus probably.
So they are installing Spyware and compromising the security of peoples devices.
That will probably be the next step, pass laws to make backdoors.
laughs in pinephone pro… the camera barely works and calls are abysmal

i’m torn… i could possibly welcome this… it is open source… 🤔

Why do I feel like more riots are going to follow very quickly?

My hot take is that I have no problem with a government using due process to access a device. I take issue with proprietary devices. I take issue with this blatant theft of ownership. Everything I purchase should be forced to plaster any marketing with giant obnoxious warnings about how hardware and software rights are withheld and the object is only available as a one time payment rental. It should be like cigarettes in California; marketing is pointless because the warnings labels take up all available space. Proprietary should be labeled as neo-digital-feudalism. It is theft, blatant bold faced theft. There is no relevant IP to protect. These companies reverse engineer every competing product on the market. Now days you can even outsource the reverse engineering to third party companies. The software can be decompiled. The hardware can be broken down to the dies with sulfuric acid. Then every layer can be methodically etched away and photographed. You can even find hobbyists doing this kind of reverse engineering of silicon on YT. The only reason anything is proprietary is for theft of ownership. Open source software is a fundamental human right. It is as important as abolition of slavery. It is a form of slavery, of someone else taking ownership over your person, your identity. I have the right to know or learn about every piece of code running on my device. I have a right to know about every hardware register in the silicon. Only then, when I have full access to my hardware, when my command to turn off my device can not be overridden, only then is it okay to be able to legally tap my device. The modem and processor in every device must be fully documented open hardware, running only open source software.
What a time to be alive!
