    Saying Apple “can’t” put a backdoor into their own devices is an absolute claim, they’re the ones who control the software, so it’s possible in principle. Business incentives and bug bounties reduce the risks sure, but they don’t eliminate the pressure or legal mechanisms major governments can apply. Snowden’s documents showed that governments have methods to compel or exploit access, and implementation flaws or covert agreements can defeat cryptography in practice.

    I do have a solid foundation in how these systems work. You should read the GNU Manifesto and learn about Free Software, it explains why blind confidence in a completely proprietary stack is to remain untrusted. No one should ever be this certain a proprietary system will always respect users rights.

      You are actually retarded if you think you think you know anything about technology after making a ridiculous claim like that. Apple is not putting backdoors in their own systems, show me one shred of evidence. It’s obvious that you are going to AI, putting in your argument, and then paraphrasing whatever random answer you get lmfao. Get outta here.

        Oh, so we’re going straight to insults because your ego got hurt? That’s cute.

        Now explain to me this, how could I possibly show you one shred of evidence if their systems are proprietary? Oh right, I can’t because they don’t provide the source code to nearly any of their software.

        See how this works?
