It's not a defense against the NSA at all. The iPhone encryption that's being debated only protects data physically residing on the phone itself. When was the last time the NSA had your phone in its possession?
- AlisdairO 12y agoGood point! I was speaking about more pervasive encryption in general, and it's fair to say I didn't consider the topic in question sufficiently before replying. That said, It's worth pointing out that the NSA is known to have been active in exploiting endpoints, not just retrieving data from google/facebook/whatever. Of course it's questionable whether this would provide any substantial protection against such an exploitation.
