minus-squarejaybone@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up21arrow-down1·2 年前I thought all PDs in the US had been doing this for decades.
minus-squareRapidcreek@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11arrow-down2·2 年前After 9/11 there was a government move to centralize communication among first responders. Lots of money allocated for new digital encrypted radio.
minus-squarejaybone@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·2 年前I thought this went further back to like ~98 and lawsuits around “export grade” encryption and the NSA was partnering with cell phone providers.
minus-squarelittleblue✨@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 年前I remember that… Funny how you don’t really hear about that anymore. Hunh.
minus-squareTWeaK@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·2 年前That’s because they’ve relaxed on it a bunch. Also, the stuff they were pushing in the 90s really wasn’t secure. There was a Darknet Diaries episode that covered a lot of this, but I can’t remember which one.
