Earlier this year the Australian courts confirmed some rando public servant in Australia can't actually pretend they are the world wide king and order a foreign country to do shit: https://www.bandt.com.au/elon-musks-x-corp-defeats-esafety-in-federal-court/ https://www.bandt.com.au/elon-musks-x-corp-defeats-esafety-i... The eSafety commissioner (another joke department of 'karens'), was forced to drop their appeal on the advice of their solicitors telling them they are just pissing tax dollars away on a losing battle. The clown in ASIO is just saying a bunch of waffle, "we have hacking capabilities that allow us to do that". It's some computer guy in a room (payed 1/3 the salary in the industry) against the security group in Apple. What can you say but LOL?

> It's some computer guy in a room (payed 1/3 the salary in the industry) against the security group in Apple. Nah, they just buy exploits from hackers sold on the worldwide market. It costs a lot of money and might take time, but eventually getting into a apple device isn't a problem. In the US the FBI manages just fine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple–FBI_encryption_dispute https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple–FBI_encryption_dispute they just also wanted a backdoor put there just for them to make it easier.

The eSafety case is a bit different. The eSafety Commissioner is an ex Twitter employee who has been gifted the opportunity to continue her vendetta against her former employer at the Australian taxpayers' expense. The guy in a room in Canberra works for an agency with the budget to buy exploits and toolsnfrom the same Israeli companies the FBI uses. But they charge top dollar, and so what Mikey B is looking for here is a cheaper outcome.
