I agree.

Blame the DMCA. This guy is in Turkey - does GP really think he can expect fair treatment and equal compensation as a "western world" security researcher?

There's no reason why the person who discovered the bug would be safer publishing the vulnerability on Twitter than disclosing it to Apple directly. If nothing else, they could always post it on Twitter later. The link to the DMCA is a digression.

How does him being from Turkey matter in this case?
