"Apple will become the phone of choice for the pedophile"

actual police quote on Apple/Google's new default device encryption standards. Outstanding.

Better article on the matter:

https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2014/10/iphone_encrypti_1.html

basically Google is enabling local encryption options by default in Android, and Apple is doing the same in iOS, along with disabling their previous remote data retrieval tools... likely to shed themselves of responsibility if more accounts/devices are tampered with like the celebrity iCloud dump.

I understand this is a little late and not all that consequential, considering most people who feel they need to have their devices encrypted anyway, but I can't get over the ridiculousness of that quote.

Real pedophiles use dm-crypt.

Real pedophiles use dm-crypt.

You should be on a commercial for it

"I'm Pestilence, and I am a pedophile.  When I want true anonimity, to groom the neighbor's pre-teen babysitter, or just to download child porn; I make sure to use dm-crypt."

Wait so are you saying that the google encryption isn't secure? And how do I know dm-crypt / luks go the way of truecrypt?
Autists / schizos are in on the fun too.
Seriously though if you have a solid state drive or flash drive it literally cannot be (securely/totally) securely erased except by the built in tools. The only way is by encrypting the drive from the start. That means passwords, cc info, etc.
