Basically, the tools that LE uses to unlock devices uses exploits that require the device to be in what’s called an AFU (after first unlock) state. The data on the device is encrypted prior to that first unlock after you boot. If the device is in a BFU state (before first unlock) Cellebrite/Greykey (by far the primary tools used in this space) basically hit a wall.

We’re pretty lucky

Luck has nothing to do with it. We’ve actively decided to allow this shit to happen. The USA isn’t unlucky, we just fucking suck.

because we’re all interconnected; you can snip one country out, and it’ll slightly hurt everyone, but it’ll wreck the country that was snipped out

Conservatives will NEVER understand this.

I love when the goon sees Batman in a room and walks right the fuck back out like he saw nothing.

And in Cuban’s case, you just have to exploit the fuck out of a shitload of people. Only way to create a billionaire.

It’s not that this is a “bad thing”. It’s wildly ineffective, hypocritical, and a waste of resources when compared to other more pressing issues that they are doing nothing about. Thus, mockery.

Who do?

“You’re FORCING us to respect people’s rights?? Definitely authoritarianism.”

I don’t remember saying shit about us not handling this internally or going to war but you do you.

The idea that the USA is untouchable by global counterparts is absurd. Look at what Russia does to our elections with a couple of script kiddies. We can absolutely be targeted and displaced by outside forces, especially with the current crop of dipshits running the federal government right now.

We are absolutely an enemy to the free world now. There used to be a tiny sliver of decency, but that has long since been abandoned.

To the rest of the world: take us down.
