Apple’s Mistake

Hasn't this already been tested in a US court? I can't remember what it was called, but since you're giving away your privacy to a third party, you've given up right for privacy period.

Thank you. Third-party doctrine was what I was thinking of. So I'm guessing putting things in your phone will soon be seen as crossing into third-part territory if it hasn't already.

It's not hard to imagine that this kind of automated scanning might be used as an argument for that: "Clearly you had no expectation of privacy for information on your phone..."

Bingo. If you chose devices that aren't open, you're chosing to give away your freedoms. I makes the jump to LineageOS earlier this year because I could see the signs that Apple were getting to comfortable with government. Now, I've got the confirmation I was right in my hunch
