  > In an email, a Cellebrite representative wrote: "Cellebrite is committed to protecting the integrity of our customers’ data, and we continually audit and update our software in order to equip our customers with the best digital intelligence solutions available." Spokespeople and their statements are vacuous. This statement doesn't say anything. It could have been left from a former employee in a group of similar statements, and instructions for which statement to issue in various situations.

    To be fair, "no comment" is generally assumed to be an admission of guilt, so they have to fill the vacuum with some vacuous nonsense.

    What, you don't rate your source files based on what frequencies they'd have if you ran the waveforms charted by taking the boundary between leading and trailing whitespace and the actual content through the Fourier transform?
