> it could be someone you hate today and an activist the next

Facebook had no control over the exploit once it was handed over to the FBI. It could have been simultaneously used on the child predator and 100 activists at the same time.

Yes, this is it, exactly.

Which is why Apple didn't help the FBI break iOS.

They did choose to not provide true E2E encryption for iCloud, however :(

The FBI doesn't need Apple's help currently. iOS exploits have become cheaper and more common than Android
