Three things Vault 7 should make us question about the FBI’s fight with Apple
In 2015, two Salifist terrorists killed 16 people in California. Media coverage of the attack was rapidly superseded by a dispute between Apple Inc. and the FBI. The dispute arose from Apple’s refusal to give the FBI access to technology which could hack into/unlock the iPhone 5c used by the terrorists.
The dispute could have grown into a battle of the century pitting libertarians and privacy advocates against the US security apparatus and the deep state.
