Not technically. You'd just have to apply encryption at a higher level Send email bodies encrypted to base64 along with a public key fingerprint, then receiver's client would decrypt if it had the private key for that fingerprint But this isn't compelling enough to get a network effect to topple in-browser gmail
Base64 is an encoding, not encryption. But yes PGP or S/MIME encrypted email would work.
Charitably, they mean take the whole message with headers, encrypt it, and base64 it so you can stick it in a body. Probably still a bad idea.

Well it's a good thing this has already been settled in a court of law then. No sense in arguing it online if our wonderful nation has already made an official ruling.
Yes, it went to full trial in the senate. Where he was ultimately not found guilty. The legal process played out. But not before the prosecuting team was found to have been doctoring evidence against him. By adding a blue checkmark to tweets, they were then using to try and convict him. Its what happens when people try to use the ends justifies the means thinking.
Not really sure what you're prattling on about, I haven't used Twitter in the better half of a decade. Either way, Giuliani is the dude who tried jerking off in the Borat movie. You're going to have a hard time convincing America that he's some sort of bastion of innocence, and that we should really care about how poorly the system is treating an old white man defending another old white man. There are bigger metaphorical fish to fry here.

#184Doesn’t the FBI have better things to do? Seriously Sci-Hub is more of a public good than a serious threat to the US.
You must be new here. The flight logs of Jeffrey Epstein's jet were obtained via subpoena and published in the press and not a single indictment was brought forth from it.
Every time there's a mass shooting we hear the shooter was "known to the FBI".
The FBI has better things to do than harass Elbakyan, but it won't do them.

The government disclosed that they did this to Rudy's lawyer after the fact. https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/lawyer-feds-got-rudy-iclou... Rudy made a video detailing the FBI breach of his iCloud account. [Starts at the 18:30 minute mark] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcjaaBcmUVg
The "government" didn't make any such statement. A lawyer who was a longtime friend of Rudy came out and made a claim that was never corroborated or even acknowledged by the government, by the looks of it. Remember, it'll be fine in the end. The RNC's push to eliminate domestic encryption ensures a future where everyone has access to Giuliani's iCloud!
I did not claim "government: made a statement". The government need not make statements when they disclose information to counsel, typically they don't. As per article, the government declined comment.
If Rudy is friends with is own Lawyer is irrelevant.

Common misconception. The three letter agencies do not really need to know the contents of your email body. They're much more interested in to/from, timestamps, and subject. Establishing that you communicate with a person and then getting their emails is much easier than playing with your encrypted email body.
This is just such an obviously ridiculous statement.

this company: https://www.linkedin.com/company/elsevier
Let me rephrase, who is trying to take this down and has sufficient leverage to have the FBI focused on this instead of the multitude of other important things they could be doing.
During the Obama Admin years Hollywood called in Joe Biden [1] to use the US Government's resources to pursue Kim Dotcom in New Zealand, to destroy Megaupload.
One can probably safely assume Elsevier has powerful friends in DC doing their bidding, trading favors.

I am only surprised child porn has not been found on her computer yet. And there is no report from some hotel room cleaner that he or she was raped by Elbakyan. Those "stolen" military secrets published in journals anyone can purchase for a few bucks does not even sounds scary. Apparently FBI got lazy these days, maybe because of all that Covid mess.
> Apparently FBI got lazy these days, maybe because of all that Covid mess. The FBI has always been lazy. They sent notes to MLK stating he should commit suicide, after all.
Seems more malicious than lazy.

#189I hope she will be OK, Kazakhstan isn't safe to hide from the US and made deals to resettle[1][2] former gitmo inmates now under surveillance 24/7 (payrolled by the US). If the charges are spun as working with Russian intelligence to “steal U.S. military secrets...” she will remain vulnerable. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotfi_Bin_Ali#Transfer_to_Kaza...

I hope so too. Not sure we have to worry though, the email is referring to a data request that happened in February 2019. If they would have found something they could act on, it's likely they would have already.
This case is just the "Apple Privacy & Law Enforcement Compliance" team being extremely slow at sending out notifications.

Onus of precedent would have to be that it does not . If you're able to find any such, I might have further interest in this line of questioning. Though I doubt even that.
You think the US Constitution of the United States* of America restricts what the US can do to non-citizens who aren't in the US at all? What possible reason could you have for that thought? Precedent is that protections like that are created by treaties like the Geneva Convention.
The question isn’t about whether the constitution restricts non-citizens, but about whether it protects them by preserving their rights.
In fact I’m not sure the constitution restricts any entity other than the government. It’s laws that restrict people. And laws apply to everyone, assuming jurisdiction can be established, or extradition will be enforced. I can’t murder someone in Japan just because I’m a non-citizen there. But I could break US law by doing something not-illegal in Russia, and they probably wouldn’t extradite me.
