i fear people will "want it" when it gets good enough the combination of "dumb screen(TV?) as interface" with "any/all content* you want (cheaper with ads)" will be very attractive to the 99% of humans who dont want to…
An important detail in the US juristiction certainly. On a practical basis i cannot evaluate the jurisprudence involved and I would assume the number of people who credibly can is very small, especially in the context…
A warrant canary is utterly useless as a defense. Any secret legal order to alter IT systems (the specific threat model it is most often suggested for) can logically also include an order to maintain a fake warrant…
Did your "learning about" include sitting in meetings with legal during contract planning and C-level strategy meetings for market domination ?
Awesome maths. A practical problem I see is that even if everyone used this everywhere, an attacker has no reason to believe any forceably decrypted plaintext. The disclosing party would have had to beforehand craft a…

If your threat model includes any sovereign state's intelligence agency then a warrant canary is worse than useless. Given their other widely abused powers it is likely trivial to force a normal company to continue…

Admirable enthusiasm, but I beleive this is a legal problem not a software/product one. The network effect can only be broken by fashion or laws requiring completely free movement of users and all their data among…

How is "flag-planting" even relevant to this ? You only cite what you use and you should not be using vapid hollow flag-planting sources from _anywhere_. Someone needs a fresher course on academia 101. Is it the…
