A comment on M4 MacBook Pro. Parent comment
- they can keep asking for backdoors to "stop terrorists"
- they're not on the hook if for whatever reason they can't access a particular phone in a very mediatized case
- most targets (the not so sophisticated ones at least) keep using a device the agencies have proper access to
Regardless of their actual technical means, I don't expect we ever get a "we sure can!" kind of public boasting any time soon.
