A perfect example of how and why capitalism creates and entrenches poverty.

China could literally solving world hunger and the US press would complain about it being a plot to ruin US farmers.

In theory, sure - it’s only a concern if you have a work-managed device.

In concept, though, there are more parties with partial control/access to your device from whom you only have a tenuous protection at-best.

Normalizing the practice of automatic archival of encrypted communication is bad. I don’t think that’s a particularly spicy take. “They say it won’t be used except in these specific circumstances” is no better than a fig-leaf, especially when those types of promises have been repeatedly broken.

An archiving feature that highlights a reality that many people arent already aware of - that encryption is meaningless if you dont have ultimate control of the device you are decrypting it on.

Each morning I wake up and think to myself, “what fresh new hell awaits me today?”

There are no caveats to this that can make me feel better about it. This is a normalization of what I already new to be true - that my phone has never actually been mine, and any controll I thought i had can and will be taken from me at any moment.
