Bug ID: 156523
Summary: Reconsider the use of encryption in password-protected
documents
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Total surveillance of private communications through client-side scanning will
soon be implemented in the West, and eventually, worldwide.
The absence of prominent calls to action against bills like the UK Online
Safety Bill on LibreOffice websites, despite their Orwellian nature and the
need for widespread implementation of DRM and confiscation of old devices for
enforcement, contradicts LibreOffice's commitment to Free Software principles.
Many other organizations seem to share this silent approval, and there doesn't
seem to be any plan for a last-ditch effort similar to the Net Neutrality
protest.
It looks like there has been a collective epiphany, and these organizations now
secretly believe in the inherent goodness and incorruptibility of benevolent
Western democracies and their ability to responsibly handle this immense power.
Therefore, in anticipation of mandatory backdoors being implemented,
LibreOffice should either remove strong encryption from versions intended for
the general public, as documents protected by it will be unable to be
transmitted over the Internet, or find a way to modify it to allow for
backdoors to scan them.
