I still don’t trust them, especially when they announced they were scanning images. I don’t really care their reasons for it, that’s intrusive. I can’t trust any closed source tech, no matter what they say.
In an all too predictable turn of events, Salt Typhoon, an infamous Chinese state actor, has reportedly hijacked government systems to breach several American broadband providers and gain access to the interception portals required by US law.
Yeah, I don’t get it. I go out of my way to provide sources even before being asked.
What’s really frustrating is when others users criticize me for providing evidence that could be used to counter my claim. I’m not trying to win arguments, I’m trying to show my work so others can correct me if I missed something. I’m here to learn and educate, in that order, yet so many only seem interested in engaging in discussion that jives w/ their existing opinions. That was a problem on Reddit too, but at least someone would chime in w/ sources much of the time.

I’m not really a fan of apple, but I was very happy they stood their ground on that one. They were absolutely right to do so.
The public broohaha surrounding that event makes me think Apple is providing a back door and this psyop was to make people comfortable trusting Apple.
Just a theory though. But apple is all proprietary so nothing is stopping them from doing whatever they want or what ever FISA order said.

Thanks for bringing receipts. In stark contrast to my experience on Reddit, Lemmings usually seem allergic to showing their work for some reason.
