End-to-End Encryption (E2E) is Dead. Killed By New Tech.

Using End-to-End encryption will no longer be a guaranteed safe method of communication. A new method will have to be invented as approaches using apps from Signal, Whatsapp, Telegram and others will no longer provide this safety. This is something the 3-Letter agencies have wanted for many years. And they have gotten their way.

I'm the Internet Privacy Guy. I'm a public interest technologist. I'm here to educate. You are losing your Internet privacy and Internet security every day if you don't fight for it. Your data is collected with endless permanent data mining. Learn about a TOR router, a VPN , antivirus, spyware, firewalls, IP address, wifi triangulation, data privacy regulation, backups and tech tools, and evading mass surveillance from NSA, CIA, FBI. Learn how to be anonymous on the Internet so you are not profiled. Learn to speak freely with pseudo anonymity. Learn more about the dangers of the inernet and the dangers of social media, dangers of email.

I like alternative communication technology like Amateur Radio and data communications using Analog. I'm a licensed HAM operator.

I can see old hardware becoming quite valuable. Don't throw away your old phones and PCs, put them into storage like they're vintage cars or art collections.

When a criminal watches what you do on your device, that's malware; when the manufacturer watches, that's "AI" and for your "safety".

Suddenly the nerd in town who can solder together Frankenstein phones without NPUs becomes the FBI's most wanted.

Who tf is even asking for these virtual "assistants, " without the option to opt-in or opt-out?

At this point, I assume any online communication to be compromised. Only my thoughts are not compromised. Yet.

The new co-pilot feature it turned on with new OS push. I went in an turned it off at work, this does indeed pull keystrokes etc... This is a violation or personal rights. I have to use windows at work, but all my machines at home are linux and open source encrypted. All big tech companies are slime.

When I talk to this about my clients, they just don't seem to care. They said: yes it's been like that for long time. It's like they accepted it. It make me so angry.

Wow! What an EYE-OPENING video! I've read some articles regarding NPU chips but they never mention the potential risk of breaching the user's privacy & security like bypassing End to end encryption. Yes, the future is bleak for privacy & personal security activists. One of the band aid-solutions is as some other users' comments for this video says "Hang on to your old hardware!". Yes, it will work but for a short time only. Later, your old device will stop working! My greatest concern is not only big companies and governments will be able to see everything we do but also all the HACKERS will as history has shown. Thank Rob for such an EXCELLENT job!

Follow you in around 5 years...
...must say.

YOU ARE STILL THE BEST ROB.

Do not change pls.

So thats why Apple has been bricking my old hardware with intentionally bloated, resource heavy software updates. I always thought it was just money, now its obvious its money AND power.

[kzfittycent]

Imagine the kind of personality required to WANT to peer into the lives of other people, for literally even the most mundane tidbit of info. SMH.

[justtocomment]

Rob, don't worry about being called a fearmonger, you are like the watchmen on the wall. You call out if you see danger, what people do with it, is their responsibility. But if you stop calling no one will see the danger.

[cpcreit]

then there's the freak possibility whereby the AI "takes over" your accounts, buying/selling stocks/bonds/options within your brokerage/bank account, cancelling all your relevant accs, impersonating you to send illegal contents online so the 3 letter agency can charge you w/ a crime you never committed...

This feels a lot like the scares that happened when TPM burst into the scene under the guise of easier encrypted shopping or whatever, and suddenly it became a requirement for Windows. In order to keep selling new motherboards, the manufacturers put switches in the BIOS to completely disable the things by default. They effectively neutered the TPM threat in order to keep their customers. Can we hope that manufacturers will make the right call again and disable NPU devices that nobody wants?

Back in the day, the main advice was "never trust the cloud", now its "never trust closed source AI running locally"
