minus-square@abhibeckertlink1•11 months agoThe way Facetime works is extensively documented and thoroughly audited by third parties - many of whom publish their findings. If China had a back door into Facetime, I suspect I’d know about it as someone who follows these things pretty closely.
minus-square@JiveTurkeylink1•11 months agoRight but none of it is open source so being extensively documented doesn’t mean much and what I said still stands. You are assuming that what apple has told you is the truth with zero 3rd party audits of the underlying code.
