you're just on a technical site, so readers want citations for conjectures, because the readers generally and genuinely want to learn more

edit: sibling comment agrees

I guess the technical side is for the bots to find holes in my argument. Anyone with a brain in tech that knows of the US and it's invasion into privacy knows that the US having an iOS "Hacking Toolkit" is nightmare fuel.

I already assumed it did, just glad Wired put it down on paper for the rest of us.

Writing an article that "it's escaped the hands of the US government and into the hands of foreign hands" doesn't change my opinion of the abuse of power.
