California Introduces Disguised Bill to Ban Encryption

>>52557820
Lol fucking democrats

>>52557820
Fuuuuck

That's a new excuse though. Guess they can't fight terrorism or protect the children all the time.

oh wait no,
>...provide criminals an invaluable tool to prey on women, children, and threaten our freedoms

Is there a real human trafficing problem there?

Can't you just make people open their phones? Is that somehow more illegal and taboo than banning encryption?

The same is true about encryption.

>>52558204
They're not banning encryption though.

>>52558223
Theoretically possible I guess, but completely nonsensical
have some better examples

>>52558236
>have some better examples
Those are examples of something else entirely.
I agree with you that it would be bad for us if they banned encryption.
But I do not agree that it's impossible.

>>52558223
What metric will they use in deciding over what is encrypted data and what is not?

I can embed some encrypted data in a jpeg in some chosen manner. How are they going to catch that?

>>52558247
How would it be enforced though, without violating civil liberties?

“Full-disk encrypted operating systems provide criminals an invaluable tool to prey on women, children, and threaten our freedoms while making the legal process of judicial court orders useless.”
Is this literally the incognito mode walk free meme?

But seriously, aren't they claiming, in other words, that they can't make a case against a human traficker without him having self-incriminating evidence on his phone?

Apart from that full disk encryption seems completely vulnerable to weak passwords and cold boot attacks, which, from a law enforcement standpoint, should be more practicable than relying on people who routinely break the law to not break that law?

>>52557820

Any encryption that can be decrypted by another party that doesn't have the keys is fundamentally flawed.

* It's essentially the same thing.

* It's pointless because the mathematical formulas are known. Tell the companies they have to install back doors and you will immediately see 3rd party tools to accomplish the same thing by people outside CA's jurisdiction.

* FDE is not stopping the prosecution of those in human trafficking. These politicians do not care about that at all. If they did, there are a thousand laws and tools on the books to break trafficking rings wide open (which is a problem but not a massive OMG problem like they claim). Most trafficking goes on with police, DAs, and politicians looking the other way thanks to bribes.

Protip: I've spoken with a Long Beach dock worker who claims he has witnessed trafficking and that the cops know about it, but won't dare touch it because of the bribes to them and to the unions. He said if he made a stink about it he would wind up dead, and I know him well enough that I believed him.

These politicians don't give a shit about "muh womynz and muh childrenz!"

The fact that the mathematical formulas are known and therefore any 3rd party outside of CA's legal jurisdiction can provide all the encryption tools they want.

Fuck, you don't even need to write the damn code yourself. There are excellent free and open source AES libraries out there.

* In an hour or less any competent programmer could whip up an AES file encryption program.

* FDE would require some research/work because it would involve drivers or kernel extensions, but I bet there are guys out there who could do it in less then a day.

Another pointless law by pointy haired IQ90 ass hats.

How is everyone not laughing at all the dumb politicians who think encryption, in short maths can be banned.
What is wrong with people, how can they take any politician seriously who indulges in childish fantasies like banning mathematics?

>>52558404
But they can make it illegal. Writing a program that does this would be illegal. Using a progress that does this would be illegal. It will help a bit with catching actual thieves, it will hamper lives of normal people worse, and it is possible.

In countries with encryption bans, how do commercial businesses operate? Surely secure transactions are a necessity.

>>52558434
Those are the often very large keys to encryption that's used in satellite TV decoding. Keys can be banned from being spread around, but mathematical functions can't be, functions are merely processes to change days in a particular way that you want, that means functions can even be explained in words, because they're ideas.

Nope. Languages, by nature, have structure that you can use to start to decipher their meaning. It might have worked against the Japanese in WWII (Native American languages), but with modern computing it wouldn't work for long at all.

Sort of. Chinks sell smuggling services to other chinks and sometimes they decide to keep them as sex slaves. Massage parlors are often just a front for them as you may already know.

>>52558147
Except they've been known to discharge unexpectedly and kill people so that lame ass inanimate object argument is kind of out the window already.
The main point people seem to gloss over or flat out ignore is that guns are devices specifically designed to kill - there is no alternative use like a knife. You don't spread butter with a gun. You don't cut steak with a gun.
"Swimming pools kill people!"
They're not designed to kill people.
>the only way to die is to be alive

>>52558828
>Except they've been known to discharge unexpectedly and kill people
can you cite that? I thought this stopped being a problem more than a hundred years ago.

I'm going to ignore your other comment about alternative uses because there are alternative types of knifes designed for specific uses and alternative types of guns. (You wouldn't argue that a NERF gun is designed to kill people)

Well yes. Kill various things like people who want to kill you, animals for food. Hell target shooting's a sport and so is practical shooting.

>>52559362
Just because something is "a" does not mean it is not "b".

A nerf gun IS a toy but it is ALSO a gun. A non-lethal gun designed as a toy. A stun gun is a gun but it is also a tool. A non-lethal gun designed as a tool.

See where I'm going with this or do I need to break it down more?

>actually trying to argue witih gun nuts
These are people who unironically believe that guns have magical properties (the literal physical manifestation of freedom as granted by the founding fathers) when arguing against the idea that events such as the Sandy Hook shooting or the San Bernardino massacre actually happened, but guns are "just a tool lol why libruls hate tools their not magic lmao" when arguing in favor of the acceptance of facts.

The difference between crypto and a gun is that you can't make and disseminate 20 million copies of a gun in seconds, despite the wild fantasist notions pushed by the makerbot/3D printer crowd who literally believe that their shoddy exploding plastic guns are actually a viable form of self-defense against big gubmint, despite arguing until they're blue in the face that if we can't guarantee that every batshit crazy racist militia redneck is equipped with a Davy Crockett nuclear bazooka and a 20mm autocannon (but not blacks), it's literally tyranny worse than hitler who didn't kill jews but should have.

I think it is an awful crime.
What some of these girls goes through should be stopped.
But having a backdoor to your security (regardless of why) is bad security and someone will exploit that.
The scenario they presented was pimp sends orders to victim via phone and they cannot access phone because it is encrypted.

But if they have the phone of the victim, and the victim coorporates with the warrant, they have access to one side of the conversation.
If the pimp ignores the warrant, he can be held in contempt as well as being prosecuted by a jury.
And if you are being accused of human trafficking and he refuses to give up his pin when the judge orders him to, that is not a good case to defend.

We have other ways to find these people than breaking security for all people

>Except they've been known to discharge unexpectedly
Even guns from the cold-war era have fairly good protection against unexpected discharge. Let alone modern guns that will never fire unless you pull the trigger yourself. You could drop a loaded glock off a building and it still would not fire. Get educated faggot.

>We need to take away all your freedoms to protect freedom.

>American banned encryption

>A simple thing like an invention that has not yet been patented requires that as few people as possible know about it, and meetings between these people must be held in secure locations in absolute privacy.
>If someone had discovered the design early on by eavesdropping on these meetings, I might well have been preempted and all of my work would have been in vain.
Hopefully many people utilize Windows 10 for their innovations and secret designs. :^)

>In any case my wife also uses Chadder, so that while she is getting her hair done in the town next door she can text me some enticing suggestions that motivate me to stop what I'm doing and make sure the bedroom is in romantic order.
Either his wife is going to be mad or they're exhibitionists. Their friends might want to install a camera under their dinner table for maximum keks.

>My wife just texted me. I must stop here.
