the same one used by the Russians to post anti-Hillary fake groups, fake rallies and fake accounts by the millions. The same back door that got Zuckerberg yelled at by customers and Congress for a couple of months after the election.
But NO, Barr and Chris Wray don't want the end-to-end encryption that Zuckerberg now plans. If this is not leaving election influence wide open to the Russians, AGAIN, I don't know what is, except for filling all fifty states with offline, remote hackable voting machines, remote hackable servers, and hacked voter rolls.
Quote from above: " delivering a sobering assessment about the weaknesses that Russian operatives exploited in the 2016 campaign... "The Federal government, civil society, and the private sector, including social media and technology companies, each have an important role to play in deterring and defending against foreign influence operations that target the United States," committee lawmakers said."
Barr, Homeland and the whole administration don't care. "Leave that back door open!" they say.
I hope Zuckerberg does shuts it. Homeland and the FBI are being lazy, wanting FB to do their law enforcement for them at the expense of customer privacy.
Enabling content moderation for end-to-end encrypted messaging is a different problem from enabling law enforcement access to message content....
Yes, encryption makes it harder for the police to get in and see certain things, but that's by design. We live in a country with the 4th Amendment, in which we believe that it should be difficult for law enforcement to snoop deeply into our lives
