James Fallows:

This week I realized that over the past 45 years I’d been preparing for the news of the past nine days.

I’ll list the reporting steps I’ve taken, because they set up the questions and reactions I have now.

-In 1981 I published a book called "National Defense", which was serialized in the Atlantic.

Its purpose was to interview people who’d spent their lives waging war, or studying warfare,
and ask what realities of combat they think the rest of us misunderstand.

One of its messages was that the ability to think many steps ahead of the adversary
—if we do this, they’ll probably do that, and then we’d have to imagine something else
—distinguished the victors from the defeated.

This applied on the battlefield and in other arenas of competition.

So did the related-but-different ability to re-orient and change plans more quickly than the adversary,
when circumstances inevitably changed.

These points may seem obvious,
but you’ll see why I’m returning to them now.

Another message involved “quantity vs quality.”

The historians, combat veterans, and technologists I spoke with also emphasized that in warfare,
having more weapons, could sometimes matter more than having “better” weapons.

One gruesome example from Vietnam was the cheap but reliable AK47 rifle used by the Vietcong, versus the more “advanced” American M16, prone to deadly jams in the arms of US troops.

Drones did not exist in those days.
But since 2022 Ukraine has shown how a $2,000 “first-person-view” drone can destroy a $5 million Russian tank.

Right now, Iran can buy at least 150 of its Shahed “suicide missiles” for the cost of a single US-made Patriot missile to defend against them.

そういや士農工商ゆうてた江戸時代、江戸幕府が商人は一番身分が下(それより下も設定していて今でも問題なのだが)としていたのは何のことわりだろうか。聞いた気もするけど忘れてる。
そういやお隣の国、韓国では技工士、いわゆる匠、あと医者みたいに手を動かすような仕事をしていると蔑まれたとか?医者の地位は近代化によってだいぶあがって来たとはいうけど。
そういうの、表面上は過去の遺物扱いされがちやけど、勿論今でも影響はあるし、人々の意識の深層に食い込んでたりもするので侮れなかったりもする。
マジ、ニホンってかなり根深い身分制社会だよなって思う。しかも外からはわかりにくい。

제주항공 여객기 참사로 가족을 잃은 이들이 9일 청와대 앞에서 기자회견을 열었습니다. 참사가 발생한 지 1년2개월이 지난 무안국제공항 참사 현장에서 희생자들의 유해와 유류품이 새롭게 발견되는 일이 거듭되며, 부실했던 초기 수습 과정이 확인된 탓입니다. 유가족들은 가족의 흔적과 진실의 조각들을 국가가 “쓰레기처럼 취급해왔다”며 오열했습니다.

@lcamtuflcamtuf :verified: :verified: :verified: Thousands of years of hard work trying to get away from reality as far as possible, and who can blame them. And then, when discrete mathematics suddenly became relevant to practical problems, they fought back so hard that "abstract nonsense" is now a technical term.

It feels like Proton are being intentionally misleading in their statements. They know that most of their customers aren't familiar with how legal process actually works, so are happy to spread half-truths.

Under US law, a US law enforcement agency (LEA) typically has to apply for a subpoena or search warrant with a US court. The court is then responsible for deciding if the legal bar for search a request has been met, then either grants or denies it.

The problem is, if a company has no real US footprint (no US corporate entity, offices, servers, etc.), then a US court typically doesn't have the jurisdiction to compel the company to hand over customer data (except in some rare circumstances). Even if the court approved the warrant anyway, it wouldn't really be legally binding.

Which is why the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) exists. MLAT enables law enforcement agencies in one company to send requests for information to law enforcement agencies in another. Switzerland has such a treaty with the US. This means that the FBI can request that Swiss authorities hand over a Swiss company's data on their behalf.

Any country requesting information held by a company in a foreign jurisdiction would typically do so via MLAT. Which means from Proton's perspective, the legal request would appear to originate from their local law enforcement, not the FBI. Which they clearly understand based on their Reddit post.

Saying "we don't respond to legal requests from anywhere other than Swiss authorities" seems very intentionally worded to give the impression that the company does not cooperate with foreign law enforcement. But since it'd be the Swiss authorities handling any such requests, they'd have to comply, since as they admitted, they have to comply with local laws.

There is, however, some useful (but more nuanced) information here:

Firstly, MLAT requests are handled by local law enforcement according to local law. So if there is a difference between the law of the sending and recipient country, that might mean the MLAT request is denied. That probably doesn't mean much, because if you're on the FBI's radar, the chances are you did something that is also massively illegal in Switzerland too.

Secondly, they are 100% correct in saying that no other service provider is going to do any better. They're all beholden to local laws, and the ones that think they're not tend to get their doors blown off by SWAT like CyberBunker did. The only exception is if the company resides in a country which does not cooperate with US law enforcement (which Proton does not).

But the part that's extremely disingenuous is that the "we only respond to requests from the Swiss authorities". That statement is likely intended to imply they don't cooperate with law enforcement in any other countries, which is simply not true. Switzerland has MLAT agreements with over 30 counties.

People really need to understand that no company is going to shield you from the FBI (or any reputable law enforcement agency). They'll use misleading statements to make it sounds like they don't cooperate with law enforcement, but they do. They have to.
