    Okay well now we’re talking about leaked government documents…

    Which comes with a whole different set of rules including mechanisms like false info. Specifically, tactics like misdirection (to sway public opinion against good-guys, perhaps like apple, while still not lying about any bad guys involved, a proverbial shit bomb which makes everyone appear guilty)

    Not sure why Apple would be so public in fighting against the cia/fbi regarding giving them a way into your phone if they were already letting them in lmao.

    What sense does that make?

    I do, however think that hardware should be open-sourced and heavily subsidized from a career standpoint for pen testers so that we can have standardized and vetted hardware which can run Apples flavor or androids, etc. This is however pretty far out from my realm of knowledge so I can’t speak to likelihood or anything like that.

    Just know we agree on your very last point

      i dont care what their PR department is saying, or making it look. in fact its the very last thing i care, their actions speak louder.

      if you want to think apple devices are not spying on you because of reasons you are free to do so, im not gonna argue that.

        You didn’t answer my question

        Why would apple openly fight the govt on this?

        If we can’t trust anything you see or hear how do you plan to cope with reality? Nothings believable? Seriously? Good luck dude.

          so im crazy now?

          if you want to know i suggest you inform yourself of their business decisions, not their PR talk.

          otherwise being a fanboy is not healthy.
