Both figuratively and literally in this case.

We should organize a week to mail shit back, so the spammers feel the pain.

Has Apple unlocked iPhones for law enforcement in the past?

No.

We regularly receive law enforcement requests for information about our customers and their Apple devices. In fact, we have a dedicated team that responds to these requests 24/7. We also provide guidelines on our website for law enforcement agencies so they know exactly what we are able to access and what legal authority we need to see before we can help them.

For devices running the iPhone operating systems prior to iOS 8 and under a lawful court order, we have extracted data from an iPhone.

We’ve built progressively stronger protections into our products with each new software release, including passcode-based data encryption, because cyberattacks have only become more frequent and more sophisticated. As a result of these stronger protections that require data encryption, we are no longer able to use the data extraction process on an iPhone running iOS 8 or later.

Hackers and cybercriminals are always looking for new ways to defeat our security, which is why we keep making it stronger.

This is for non e2ee cloud data. If you turn e2ee cloud encryption on, only you can access your cloud data. A government or police agency can’t access it, but you’re also kind of fucked if you need Apple’s support to access backup. So maybe leave it off for old parents.

That key is not for locally encrypted data, locked devices or e2ee data.

If you turn this on, Apple can’t not decrypt anything you have stored in the cloud with that key.

On the multiple mods thing. It’s also worth having multiple mods in multiple time zones so there is overlap.

Do you have a source for that?

Because Apple has had a lot of very prominent court cases about unlocking phones for cops, and they famously haven’t done that. They, like other cloud service providers, have forked over cloud storage data, that isn’t e2ee, when given a warrant.

They’ll hand over unencrypted cloud data, but they are not decrypting E2EE cloud data. They literally can’t. They don’t have the key. If they had a key, it would be a monumental security vulnerability.

This is why governments and cops have dragging them into courts for years.

Agreed. I’m talking about deflation though. The debts you acquire balloon in size, even without interest, during deflation.

2% is actually pretty good and about what you want. Maintaining flat spending power sounds great on paper, but also puts an economy at increased risk of recession and citizens at increased risk of ballooning debt.

Once you get 3/4 through this article, and get to the actual content, it’s pretty underwhelming. Apple was basically just showing cops that they could be querying their existing databases with iOS mobile and or CarPlay experiences.

After reading the article, it doesn’t look like any of this contradicts what they’re been selling. Encrypted data is still locked down. IMHO, this title is fairly clickbaity.

A lot of this looks like iOS / CarPlay versions of policing / public records database software that was previously on platforms like Windows.

This title seems kind of clickbaity. Most of the native apps are for querying existing government and police databases. We’re talking about accessing records via CarPlay, as opposed to using a bulky Window’s laptop docked in a center console.

Apple is still not offering governments a backdoor into encrypted content.

Looks like most of you would prefer us to separate the content. We’ll start to work to update the rules!

Good question. We’ll talk it over again. The founding mod asked this community about this topic about a year ago. At the time, most of the users here wanted to break free from Reddit’s videos community and allow political videos.

But, that was also before Oct 7th and before the American elections went into overdrive. So, there is a lot more controversial and or highly downvoted content clogging the feed now.

If you ever apply for a job as an Armorer, keep this out of the cover letter.

Mocking responsible firearm safety.

So cool, so wise!

We don’t need to legalize. If we decriminalized, then took the money for jailing and funded mandatory treatment, we could do what Portugal did in the early 00’s.
