I wish every single teenage boy who got suckered by /r/PoliticalCompassMemes into believing that politics was a simple four-phase Cartesian plane, could read this and rise up against the neoNazis who set it up to radicalise them

Dr Henry (@cmhenry.bsky.social):

spatial models of politics are wrong in dangerous ways. there is no center. the new age of ideology is networked, integrated, & identarian. "issue spaces" are manifold. imagining you can pick an "issue" & "move" your position in it radically misunderstands how political actors relate to each other.

there are a lot of things i wish i could make political redditors read

GOP reps seem to be setting up to go after Signal (again?) at this hearing today with the Director of the Secret Service.

I know there are some who will disagree with me on "but extremists can use then to coordinate" grounds, but imo encrypted messaging apps are vital to civil liberties

Brady (@baugb.bsky.social):

Sorry for the lazy question but I've wondered: I used to half-assume the US (loosely speaking) had some way to crack/backdoor Signal, since they developed it, but when it gained ground with "bad" dissidents and they pulled funding I though oh, maybe it is secure after all. Is this right?

Stephen C. Rea (@stevierea.bsky.social):

Great question; if you watch Meredith Whitaker's strong defense against the UK's attempt to create a backdoor, it makes me skeptical about the US having one. Telegram's founder has tried to spread disinfo about that, but there's no evidence that it's the case (and plenty reason to think otherwise)

Signal was funded by DoD for certain, but the client software is developed by Moxie & is open-sourced. The client isn't backdoored; the OS platforms which the app runs on — likely those are backdoored

Stephen C. Rea (@stevierea.bsky.social):

_NSAKEY back in 2000ish was the first card-tip there. Who controls the PKAs of the OEMs?

Then there was the Intel IME, iCloud …

If someone's threat model includes hardening against the US intel community … there's a lot of work to get there from off the shelf

Thanks! Much better/more thorough answer than mine 😁 It's great to have smart followers/mutuals!

can you elaborate on the os platforms? like android and ios and windows? or something else? i know the protocol is one thing, and the apps are another, but i dont have the knowledge to review the code and understand it. i'd just hazard the bigger threat is from the main os esp if its windows

Windows' code signature keys are almost certainly co-signed somewhere up the chain by the NSA, allowing the NSA to silently replace any arbitrary file with their own version on a targeted install. Similar is likely for any other US chartered OEM, to comply with export control regulations & NSA cert

most flavors of linux also affected?

Linux is a different thing — the NSA there is not likely in the keychain authority on the hundreds of various distros, and they can be reliably hardened against tampering.

There, they're probably relying on undiscovered zeroday exploits in small single maintainer packages

Also, with respect to Linux, many hardware platforms those are going to run on will have Intel chipsets with the Intel Management Engine, which is an isolated microcomputer running a unixlike, as a supervisor blackbox, and could probably intercept, store, foreward ssh keys & efs keys

ah yes, i will have to look into this. i assume most mainstream chips have this, at least the intels? amd have something similar?

Yes. There's likely some state-level intelligence backdoor in most OEM hardware. The Snowden leaks made us aware that a major chipset oem for SSL acceleration hardware, powering secure web connections, has a NSA backdoor. Probably Broadcom or (formerly) FreeScale.

So iOS, OSX, Windows, etc are all likely backdoored by the NSA. There's a separate question of "when & where are they likely to use that", which is probably only if they think they can recover & revert / destroy the device after retrieving what they want.

Online services are more exploitable

IME was marketed as remote management & recovery for tech support & corporate IT but if it were used for that, for example, it would have been harnessed to recover from the CrowdStrike outage.

I have a whole elevator speech for this and why it's irresponsible to put access to this in the hands of Donnie Trump & Steve Bannon, from 9 years ago. Still just as true today with Trump & Co 2.0

I see I've become a main character here because I tweeted about it yesterday on The Other Site. Not very surprised, as screenshots from The Other Site seem to regularly drive conversation here. Anyway I stand by what I said; I think certain incorrect narratives spread here with not enough pushback.

I'm not trying to ruin anyone's fun and I'm not a glutton for punishment, and I truly hate Elon and the various ways he's made Twitter worse (even though some of this has been exaggerated). But I also think that it remains, however degraded and unpleasant, indispensable for following news.

'viktor shtrum' (@viktorshtrum.bsky.social):

I also followed the recent debacle with Jamelle a bit, and from what I can tell many people I like and respect on this site (and there are many of you) are starting to wonder if maybe it's a little too bubbled and self-satisfied. That's a healthy thing to wonder!

I really only have a minor quibble which is that you can still follow the news from the paper etc (not as fast as Twitter) but granted for ppl like you or I who have used sites like this or Twitter for many years, that's a bit of a difference, and you're still getting it filtered thru the paper.

'viktor shtrum' (@viktorshtrum.bsky.social):

and also more specifically in Twitter's case, sometimes the news being broken is violent images/videos which we probably shouldn't be seeing anyway. The lack of moderation cancels out the news features for some

'viktor shtrum' (@viktorshtrum.bsky.social):

tbh the only examples of these I've seen are from Gaza, and people ought to see what's happening there

reshared for alt text, but tbh people share so much relevant news over here nothing from "there" is missed, and the ecosystem seems to be growing out to see articles and links and info posts directly here, which is the goal, so not sure how soaking in hitler particles is worth it on the daily

i checked back in on twitter yesterday and the first post the algorithm showed me was Brianna Wu arguing that Starship Troopers wasn't fascist because she has based her politics on it.

the second post in my feed was a nazi meme account listing their favorite racial slurs.
