I would wager major governments have the ability to carry out interdiction operations.
My threat model isn't the Five Eyes (FVEY), it's everything besides them because no one can protect themselves when the NSA flagrantly subverts the Constitution and get away with it. The FVEY work in concert to get around each other's laws so yeah, good luck stopping that.

Apple has provided a ton of documentation around their hardware security and operate a bug-bounty program as well as a security research device program. I'm struggling to find any real argument beyond "I just don't trust them" here.

- Godel_unicode 5y agoAh yes, the big Bloomberg lie that keeps on giving. If you dig a little farther into this, you'll discover that it's mostly just Bloomberg writers circularly citing each other. They're ignoring the mountain of actual security professionals who work at the companies in question and ask for any real evidence. There is no proof, other than people trying to scare you to sell subscriptions or build their brand.
