Given that:
- Apple was part of the prism program;
- they denied it;
- their platform is so closed you can't have remotely any idea what's it doing;
I would put Apple in the same bag as anyone else and assume they give away everything and then make a big PR noise to pretend they don't.
Only fanboys or naive people would believe the contrary.
- Gaelan 9y agoiMessage is, as far as anyone knows, end-to-end encrypted.* There is a macOS client, so it seems likely that any backdoor in the encryption would have been found via diassembly by now. * looks like Apple is trusted for key discovery. Abuse of this trust could be tested with the Mac iMessage client. That can’t detect a targeted attack, of course, but I don’t think that’s what you’re claiming is happening.
