We have warned about this for years: the ubiquitous governmental ability to attempt a wiretap is going to be mistaken for a right to succeed in such wiretapping. We\u2019ve now arrived at the dangerous point where courts agree.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Starting in the early 1990s when the government attempted to ban strong encryption, and continuing through the Clipper Chip debate in the mid-1990s, the various attempts to contain open source, and the current fantasies of a \u201cgolden key\u201d, the government has consistently tried to keep strong encryption out of the hands of the masses.<\/p>\n<p>The concept of a golden key is nonsense, of course. The notion that one government can keep such a key to itself and keep it out of the hands of the other 191 governments and everybody else is ludicrous.<\/p>\n<p>By now, we know that this government \u2013 not one, but all of them, actually \u2013 have taken themselves the right to wiretap everybody all the time. Or at least, the right to attempt a wiretap on everybody.<\/p>\n<p>We have therefore warned for a number of years that it\u2019s only a matter of time before said governments mistake their <em>technical ability to attempt<\/em> a wiretap on everybody for a <em>legal right to succeed<\/em> in wiretapping everybody all the time. We\u2019ve warned about this for years, and the day has now come. Actually, it\u2019s worse: the executive branches of governments have had this delusion for some time, but it\u2019s been contained by other, saner parts of government until now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Translated into analog terms: if you have a safe at home, and the government has a search warrant for your home, the government has a right to attempt to open that safe of yours through orderly and destructive means. However, the government doesn\u2019t have some kind of right to <em>succeed<\/em> in those attempts to open your safe.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s new in the San Bernadino case is that the <em>courts agreed<\/em> to this outlandish assertion. There are three branches of government, intended to keep each other in check. For the first time, the judicial branch agreed with the runaway executive branch in that the executive not just has a right to <em>attempt<\/em> wiretapping anybody at will, but it has a <em>right to succeed<\/em> in its attempts to do so.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This is shocking, atrocious, and dangerous. Fortunately, Apple is doing the right thing and basically asking any and all parts of government demanding such a thing to take a very public hike. It\u2019s hard to see how they could have chosen any other course of action and kept the trust of their customers \u2013 which hasn\u2019t prevented a lot of other companies from doing that exact wrong thing in this situation, and going out of business shortly thereafter.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This rabbit hole of eroding privacy doesn\u2019t end here, however. Don\u2019t ever think it can\u2019t get worse. The next step, once governments have asserted a bizarre right to succeed in wiretapping, is to assert a right to also <em>understand<\/em> what they\u2019re wiretapping. Speaking in code? Even speaking in a foreign language? Forget about that.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, such repression is going to be made to sound like a government service.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWelcome to the Telephone Service. Your friends at Homeland Security today understand English, Spanish, and French, and you may select from all of these languages for your conversation today, even switching languages mid-conversation. If you wish to converse in Arabic today, press 9 now, and an agent will assist you in person shortly. Thank you for helping make America safe.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Think that\u2019s outlandish? All of today\u2019s surveillance was outlandish just ten years ago. There\u2019s no point the government will stop at to keep control of the narrative, to know exactly what ideas are coming from where and going where. It may not happen to the telephone network as illustrated, but don\u2019t take for granted it won\u2019t happen to more modern equivalents on the Internet.<\/p>\n<p>This is about controlling the <em>power of narrative,<\/em> which is the strongest power you can hold in a society. We\u2019ll be looking more at that and why the government is scared of losing it tomorrow. (Teaser: the first time a government lost the power of narrative, it lead to 200 years of civil war across the known world.)<\/p>\n<p>Privacy remains your own responsibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a case in San Bernadino, USA, courts have ruled that the government has a right to succeed in wiretapping an old iPhone, and is requiring Apple to help out.
