We literally know that the FBI at one point was unable to break into an iPhone, and then a few days later was able to break into it. Apple clearly let them in the back door after negotiating the condition that they could deny and act all upset about it.
And then they launched a whole privacy - focused marketing campaign immediately afterwards. It’s all laughable transparent, yet you still have moronic pop-security YouTubers repeating that bullshit that Apple is a secure platform.
Um no, the FBI used software developed by an Israel based company to hack into it. This is well documented. Isreal has been creating and selling iPhone hacking software to nation states for years. They also sold out to the Saudi’s who used to it to track and kill the American resident Jamal Khashoggi.
Your right, I don’t think those Israel companies got a backdoor from apple. A “magic packet” backdoor is too hard to hide into the code and would tank their trust FAST. However, They do encrypt the system files to prevent reverse engineering. iPhones then have enough bad practices (see: the IMessage post) (some of them oddly specific) to make a software developer cry in the corner. Incompetence, UX tunnel vision or intentional flaws. (honestly I don’t know the answer)

I wouldn’t really classify Ruby ridge as a rail-roading.
This is a guy who uprooted his family to move across the country so he could hang out with terrorists who shared Hitler-loving beliefs.
He then sold a sawed off shotgun to a man he believed was one of those terrorists.
We can definitely criticize law enforcement for every single they did from the inception of the case, but Weaver was not innocent.
