People with the surname
gollark: Huh? Modern phones mostly have 2.4 and 5GHz, they can't do that off one antenna surely.
gollark: I think modern WiFi stuff uses *multiple* antennas, actually, it's called "MIMO".
gollark: It would also not be very useful for spying on people, since they would just stop saying things if they got a notification saying "interception agent has been added to the chat" and it wouldn't work retroactively.
gollark: One proposal for backdooring encrypted messaging stuff was to have a way to remotely add extra participants invisibly to an E2Ed conversation. If you have that but without the "invisible" bit, that would work as "encryption with a backdoor, but then make it very obvious that the backdoor has been used" somewhat.
gollark: Not encryption itself, probably.
