| Backdoors (when made) can be found by others (and the
criminal element, will
find em).
So, will then the government of India want this access to
the
backdoors too?
See:
Symantec confirms hacker theft of Norton
anti-
virus source code
What about giving Syria or China, etc... the
same access to
the backdoors?
How secure is then this access (given that
the US DOD has
declared recently that they can not control the access to
their
own networks due to such a failing that has gone on in
their security
model)?
Allowing this, would be allowing a kill switch to the very
sparse
identity protection that Facebook and all these have
for their users now. It
would be like giving the wolf full
access to the sheep, and trusting the wolf?

Naturally this has nothing to do with the fact that these products are used all
over the world.
Nah.
IMHO, the feds want to be able to snoop on ALL electronic communication no
matter where in the world it takes place.
That is their ultimate goal.
So a private Skype conversation between a Farmer in the Middle of the Australian
Outback and his daughter in Sydney is now the virtual property of the US Gov. If
they get these backdoors then nothing you say/don with these products will be
private.
What about the argument 'If you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to
fear'.
Pah. Poppycock. To these people no one is above suspicion. They can make the
claim that everyone on this planet is less than 10 connections away from the
terrorist leaders.
You won't find me on Facebook but I use Skype a lot for work. I will restrict my
use of this in future you can be sure.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

...oh, and the EU is not far behind.
Civil liberties are increasingly relative.
The fact that this becomes known is worrying. What more sinister things is our
attention being diverted from...?

The only response I am able to offer to this, as someone who
produces and distributes free software to enable personal
privacy through peer to peer communications and cryptography,
is through open and very public civil disobedience.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
