How convenient that Apple can turn a blind eye to this, and maintain their useful fiction that they don’t provide law enforcement backdoors. Privacy, that’s Apple: https://www.reuters.com/article/world/exclusive-ap

Where is the evidence that people are obsessed with one-shotting and not doing the iterative back-and-forth, prompt-and-correct system he describes here? It feels like he is attacking a strawman.
