Dear Steve, | |
It's a impossible task for Apple and the likes to maintain a | |
store of device decryption keys.Where should these keys be stored? | |
China will not trust the US to hand over the keys. So China | |
will demand Apple to store the keys within its border. | |
According to the language of "manufactured… and sold", then | |
this means China can demand Apple to store all the keys | |
inside China and be readily available to the government | |
without any warrant as netizens of China have no privacy rights. | |
A more feasible solution is something like the "no fly list" | |
(which is illegal, btw) for encryption. No encryption if | |
you are mentally unstable (whatever this means), | |
if you are a gun owner, any criminal convictions, | |
drink too much, smoke pot, etc. I know this is comical | |
but this is the only way to satisfy every kind of | |
society/government. | |
"Encryption is a privilege not a right". Problem solve. |
