Russia Blocks Apple's FaceTime Amid Crackdown on Encrypted Apps

[Project Alice]

No surprise coming from Russia, I wonder is this will ever happen in “western countries”. Sometimes we take our liberties for granted.

Sometimes? People 100% do.

Official data? The same as in every other country, like in the country you live in, whatever that may be.

eh? so now offical data 'in every other country' is nonsense too? as trolls go, you're not the brightest one.

Again? The first letter should be capitalised. At the moment, I'm reading the National Security Strategy of a certain country.

oh look, spellcheck bot - how do I turn you off? do you even have a point to make? from other direction, to nonsense, to national security strategy, any random waffle goes.

Sorry if there was a misunderstanding. I was replying to your comment about "official data," noting that any given country's official data is often inaccurate, usually released for the sake of the next election. I mentioned that I'm reading the "National Security Strategy" of a certain country. I want to check how much is focused on the upcoming election and how much is true or somewhat true. It's about 30 pages long.

It's quite easy to talk about Russian toilets, or the lack thereof, without truly knowing anything about the country, other than what the media reports. Sometimes it's good to reflect on one's own country and recognise what's missing.

another masterclass in whataboutery waffle, you can go bore someone else now.

You can have look at this at your pleasure, about the "National Security Strategy" matter.

Have you heard that someone is apparently planning a war with a South American country, by the way?

Yes, albeit I can't keep up with following all the conflicts going on in the world right now, so I'm not quite in the loop with that situation. Be as it may, who's going to sanction the attacking country? The UN? EU? OECD?

Ditto.

Privacy is an illusion in 2025, even for US citizens, there are government server farms that can break Apple’s Secure Enclave and encryption.
There’s probably NDA‘s that Apple was forced to sign with various countries that they can’t even alert us that they’ve already been compromised and this back-and-forth is just an illusion to make people think that they’re secure.
The general rule is when in doubt, don’t.
Snail mail is probably the most secure way to send communications in 2025. My 2¢

I'm not trying to be confrontational, just a straightforward question. Do you have a source to back up the statement that "there are government server farms that can break Apple's Secure Enclave and encryption.?"

My understanding is the if data is properly encrypted through the entire data transfer chain and while at rest, the data cannot be decoded by anyone without the private key used to in the decryption process.

Wait, where are all the EU supporters? I'm surprised I don't see the usual names defending Russia's right to exert tight control of their markets and to limit the tech their citizens may use. Such hypocrisy.

Why on euarth would that be equivalent when we want alternative stirs and interoperability 😂

PQC
and many other current methods

I feel like these low effort posts are misleading and that they needlessly create doubt without facts or data.

I had no idea what PQC is so I looked it up. It’s Post Quantum Cryptography. Intended to defeat Qauntum computers from decrypting encrypted data. It's not something that decrypts properly encrypted data.

What does does that have to do with the topic here, which is "Do you have a source to back up the statement that "there are government server farms that can break Apple's Secure Enclave and encryption.?""

Could you explain this beyond just this low effort post that low IQ individuals like me can't understand ? “and many other current methods" Really? That's meaningless.

It seems like you might be knowledgeable. How about pointing us to a link that shows how our properly encrypted data can be decrypted without our consent?
