Like, there’s a lot of people freaking out about Apple ending End to End encryption in iCloud in UK. I’m just like: So What? It was probably backdoored from the beginning

So is Big Tech’s E2E actually not backdoored? Or is that just a PR stunt to trick people into trusting iCloud, and this is a secret honeypot? 🤔

What are your thoughts?

    The government then revealed that they had access to a third party tool that they used to break into the phone and recover its contents.

    I’m not sure if we’re thinking of the same case but I also remember that the tool wasn’t ready in the beginning, which is why they tried the court method until it was

      It wasn’t that it wasn’t ready, it just cost them $1m to hire a private contractor to unlock it.

      A court ordered redesign of the password lock timeout would have been free.
