A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Apple has joined the rapidly growing chorus of tech organizations calling on British lawmakers to revise the nation's Online Safety Bill – which for now is in the hands of the House of Lords – so that it safeguards strong end-to-end encryption.

I don’t care what you think of Apple, E2EE is just good for consumers. I wouldn’t send banking information to someone over SMS, but Encrypted RCS / iMessage? Sure.

It’s not about hiding from the law, it’s about hiding from those who break the law.

The “Online Safety Bill” is fucking horrible. It should be titled “Panopticon Hell Bill”.

I don’t trust Apple either, but clearly their pro-privacy LARP is useful sometimes.
