Keyword Warrants
The Daily Mail has an article that serves as a nice coda to my previous post on how to avoid search warrants and DuckDuckGo not logging searches. In case you thought that concern over keyword searches was overblown, the Daily … Continue reading
Reverse Warrants Explode
The new hotness in law enforcement is reverse warrants. Those are warrants that aren’t targeted at an individual but specify some criterion and seek to identify all individuals who meet that criterion. The most common example is the so-called geofence … Continue reading
The Technical Problems with Apple’s CSAM Scanning
I’ve written several posts (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) about Apple’s planned CSAM scanning project but those posts have always focused on how Apple was betraying their long held promise to protect our privacy and not allow random … Continue reading
Some Prerequisite Reading
As I said in my last post, I’m planning to write a bit about some of the technical aspects of Apple’s CSAM scanning project. Happily, Apple listened to the avalanche of criticism and put their plans on hold. I hope … Continue reading

War Is Peace
WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH That’s the motto of the party in Orwell’s 1984. Apple’s Craig Federighi appears to want to add a fourth item: SURVEILLANCE IS PRIVACY Big Brother would approve. Federighi gave an interview … Continue reading
Apple Doesn’t Want to Hear from Me
Following up on Thursday’s post, I thought I’d let Apple know directly of my concern about their new CSAM monitoring. I’d already signed the open letter to Apple but I thought it was worthwhile to send a personal message as … Continue reading
Betrayal
I’ve been fussing with this post for several days now. I alternate between white hot fury and heartbroken sobbing. I’m speaking, of course, of Apple’s betrayal of the users who believed them when they assured us that they had our … Continue reading
