- dewster 10y agoI'm curious as to why Snowden didn't simply recommend everyone go this route instead of bending over backwards trying to fix the iPhone?
- heartsucker 10y agoI was more responding to this: > our personal computing devices are completely out of our basic control I can't speak about the security of the latest iOS versus the latest custom ROMs. There may be a reason he didn't recommend these. Or maybe he knows some people are too attached to Apple to move away and is trying to do the best he can for them.
- dewster 10y agoI wonder why Apple isn't responding to this directly? It would seem like a natural since they've given a lot of lip service to security issues lately.
- heartsucker 10y agoMy guess: they can't respond to everything, so with some randomness legitimate security concerns don't get an official response.
