It will be interesting if Apple went after Cellebrite under the DMCA anti-circumvention clauses. I would laugh if their product became illegal in the United States.
- tdkl 10y agoProbably not, it's an Israeli firm.
- otaviokz 10y agoPretty much my reasoning too.
- r00fus 10y agoAny sales to US firms could be curtailed or punished. Just like security itself - the goal is to provide enough barriers so predators go looking elsewhere for easier prey.
- mschuster91 10y ago> Any sales to US firms could be curtailed or punished. That doesn't really restrict the NSA, CIA, FBI or any other agency/PD from buying their services. After all, that's what "black budgets" are for.
- r00fus 10y agoMost of these firms use private contractors to do the dirty work. Unless contractors can bypass legal oversight, they'll be constrained as well.
- Daishiman 10y agoOverseas contractor hired by a shell corporation gets the phone sent outside of the US. Boom. All this assuming they even care about legal compliance, which I am sure that under the correct circumstances it won't matter one bit.
- dogma1138 10y agoIsrael has a trade agreement with the US so DMCA is at the least partially enforced, most trade agreements have a bilateral enforcement of trademark and copyright protection laws. Israel is also a member of the WTO so there is that avenue also.
