Why the First Amendment means that the FBI can’t force Apple to write and sign code

Code is speech: critical court rulings from the early history of the Electronic Frontier Foundation held that code was a form of expressive speech, protected by the First Amendment.

The EFF has just submitted an amicus brief in support of Apple in its fight against the FBI, representing 46 “technologists, researchers and cryptographers,” laying out the case that the First Amendment means that Apple can’t be forced to utter speech to the government’s command, and they especially can’t be forced to sign and endorse that speech.

In a “deep dive” post, EFF’s Andrew Crocker and Jamie Williams take you through the argument, step by step.

Amazing Work of Blind Artist George Redhawk

Native American blind artist George Redhawk aka DarkAngelØne (previously 1, 2 )  uses visual aides to create this beautiful GIFs of pieces by his favorite artists.

To create most of my gifs, I am using a photo morphing software which I have been experimenting with, and perfecting over several years. Morphing software is designed to morph one photo to another photo, but a long time ago, I discovered that if I morph a photo to the exact same photo, I could get some pretty amazing movement out of it.
Following the loss of most of my vision, I began to explore this medium as a means to express the world through my damaged sight.

Visit DarkAngelØne‘s official Google+ page to see more incredible gifs and learn more about the man who creates them.

Even the Inventor of PGP Doesn’t Use PGP:

If you’ve ever tried to learn how to send an encrypted email, you know it’s a painful, easy-to-fuck-up process. To use a popular buzzword in Silicon Valley-speak, it’s anything but “frictionless.”

So much so that even Phil Zimmermann, the person who invented what is still probably the most famous technology for encrypted communication—PGP, or Pretty Good Privacy—doesn’t use his own brainchild.

On Tuesday, in an email to security researcher Joseph Bonneau, Zimmermann said he couldn’t decrypt the original message because he didn’t “have a version of PGP that runs on any of my devices.”
