Why do you think they have so many consultants from the free research world? Surely not because they have so many top-talents. Collaboration is good, then we know exactly what they can do and what they can’t do. So far, the proper encryption is secure, for everyone. The governments of the world want you to believe a lot of things to show their ”power”. But having consulted and worked on government research projects myself, there are always two sides to a story, what you tell everyone and what actually happened. As I said, good luck NSA.

The poster you were quoting wasn’t taking it personally, just stating that calling Tim Cook “Timmy” looks childish, which it does.
To collect information. A good thing. It's not so much collaboration. It's to get a sense of where the world is on that subject, that's just one of many many sources.
I have immense respect for them, on a wide variety of fronts, beyond cryptology.
"The governments of the world want you to believe a lot of things to show their ”power”
No, just the opposite for NSA.
I'm not worried in the slightest.
Well I say get over it. I dont have to kiss his boots like I live under his authoritarian regime and cant dissent.
Zero surprise that no independent cyber security and/or digital freedom associations were invited to attend.
This is just Joe chatting to his Democrat supporting mates.
Apple opened the front door, not the back door.
Tim and Apple opened the front door with their spyware. It is only a matter of time before this "feature" will be abused by Apple directly or by others as a precedent to do further harm.
Purge those MAGA voters like The Hunt. Ban them from the ecosystem, publicly shame and humiliate them. After all - it's become morally justified. That's the way to let love into your heart.
What country do those folks think they live in?
Let John Gruber of the prestigious Daring Fireball diary blog lead the charge; he's of a sound mind.

Actually what's a laugh (actaully at this point it's getting so old it's not funny) is that people don't understand what Apple is actually doing with what you're inaccurately alluding to (to the point of being irresponsible and libelous, imo). If you want ultimate privacy with your iPhone, I suggest you don't put anything on iCloud that you're not willing for Apple to be able to access (since they hold the encryption keys for iCloud data but don't hold the encryption key for your iPhone). This has always been true, even before iOS 15. Nothing has changed except they are now scanning for illegal material on iCloud in a way that hides everything from them except any illegal image data (and that's only if you use iCloud with photos) since the scan is happening on your phone (where they can't access anything) vs. on their servers.
Nothing to get over, by all means keep doing that if it pleases you, I don’t care.
As for the regime part I’m not sure what are you talking about, nor do I want to find out, so keep fighting the fight, I guess.
I said it once , Timmy.
Lol I can’t believe this is still going on
the defensive “culture” apple has created around itself is ... both bizarre and interesting
ive never seen someone so upset by a shorthand nickname (for Timothy)
Interestingly his middle name is Donald.
Wait until you hear the shorthand for Richard.

Why are people so dead set against stopping child abuse?Just FOCUS on STOPPING CSAM, Tim. I hope the other CEO's that will be joining the meeting is not happy with what Apple is about to introduce with CSAM.
Hopefully, Tim doesn't focus on Cyber Espionage. LOL, is this a joke?
Apple CEO Tim Cook wants tough data privacy laws in the US like Europe - Cybersecurity Insiders
Apple CEO Tim Cook shared his insights at the International Conference on Data Privacy recently and advocated for tough data privacy laws in the US likewww.cybersecurity-insiders.com
Why are people so dead set against making rational arguments?
Both you and everyone here knows you deliberately used the diminutive form of his name in a mocking way, not an endearing way. This is quite a common passive-aggressive method of insulting people. And like others said, it just distracts from any rational points that you may have (if you do) because it's petty. I guess if you're more interested in ranting than rational discussion, then you're on the right track.
