OPPOSE THE CLOUD ACT

Mods please move this thread if not appropriate for this board. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/03/new-backdoor-around-fourth-amendment-cloud-act There’s a new, proposed backdoor to our data, which would bypass our Fourth Amendment protections to communications privacy. It is built into a dangerous bill called the CLOUD Act, which would allow police at home and abroad to seize cross-border data without following the privacy rules where the data is stored. This backdoor is an insidious method for accessing our emails, our chat logs, our online videos and photos, and our private moments shared online between one another. This backdoor would deny us meaningful judicial review and the privacy protections embedded in our Constitution. This new backdoor for cross-border data mirrors another backdoor under Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act, an invasive NSA surveillance authority for foreign intelligence gathering. That law, recently reauthorized and expanded by Congress for another six years, gives U.S. intelligence agencies, including the NSA, FBI, and CIA, the ability to search, read, and share our private electronic messages without first obtaining a warrant. The new backdoor in the CLOUD Act operates much in the same way. U.S. police could obtain Americans’ data, and use it against them, without complying with the Fourth Amendment. For this reason, and many more, EFF strongly opposes the CLOUD Act.

>>7195 You can be refused boarding or crossing into a country if you won't decrypt your stuff for security thugs. Of fuarrrking course you and others like you will decrypt it or risk missing a trip.

fuarrrk the cloud act. >which would allow police at home and abroad to seize cross-border data without following the privacy rules where the data is stored. So if I piss off a local cop he can go and "seize" my Tomb file off my SDF server in Iceland? How the fuarrrk could they even enforce that?

>>7200 Remeber that encrypting your data isn't enough, it also needs to be hidden. People laugh at security through obscurity, but its a real thing. Get a big sd card and put sensitive stuff on it, encrypted, then hide it. Fold it into a pair of socks while traveling, nobody will notice. Best to have windows on your computer in a separate partition and start it then put the computer to sleep before going through security

>>7241 They would need a warrant signed by a local judge
