The bosses of WhatsApp and its rival Signal have warned that plans to break end-to-end-encryption contained in the #OnlineSafetyBill will "open the door to routine, general and indiscriminate surveillance of [people's] personal messages”. thetimes.co.uk/article/onlin….

There are apparently possible problems with this paper. xitter.cf/CraigGidney/status/160…
arxiv.org/abs/2212.12372 sure does spend a lot of space not mentioning the expected number of circuit shots it requires. It's critical to the entire premise of the paper to have a small bound on this number, and as far as I can tell they just don't talk about it. Very bad sign.

Across the country, parents are putting their children to bed, reading stories, singing lullabies—and in the back of their minds, they’re worried about what might happen tomorrow after they drop their kids off at school, or take them to a grocery store or any other public space.

I deleted my previous tweet so that I can be more plain: this is a mind numbingly foolish, privacy-destroying, encryption-busting, innovation-killing proposal, dressed up in clothes of anti-monopoly. If you want federation go use a federated protocol. xitter.cf/CaseyNewton/status/150… – at Hartley Wintney, England
By 2023 iMessage and WhatsApp will have to be interoperable, because Europe said so. Wild new internet we’re living on these days

One year ago, a violent attack on our Capitol made it clear just how fragile the American experiment in democracy really is. Here’s my statement on what the anniversary means, and what we need to do today.

Happy birthday, Erwin Schrödinger! ... though you may not want to open your present if you don't want to know what's inside.
