I can see your point with the apple encryption angle,
I don’t remember any Apple exec initials ever mentioned in Q post #571 or elsewhere, I suppose some of the companies could be unwilling participants I’m just so skeptical lately I could also see it as disinformation to give the public a false sense of security.

https://wccftech.com/apple-google-fix-cia-exploits-wikileaks-wont-share-code/ - Google has finally come out of the closet and is saying what Apple did about the latest CIA leaks – many of the flaws leaked are outdated and already patched.
What do you make of the google vs google pixel in the killbox in the same post you mentioned that has Apple vs samsung?
Think Google [new Pixel phone].
Think Apple [vs. Samsung].
Why was Blackberry destroyed?
Cause google is definitely connected to the CIA through ES and he is also definitely connected to State Dept thru google ideas
http://www.newsweek.com/assange-google-not-what-it-seems-279447 - It was Cohen who, while he was still at the Department of State, was said to have emailed Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to delay scheduled maintenance in order to assist the aborted 2009 uprising in Iran. His documented love affair with Google began the same year when he befriended Eric Schmidt as they together surveyed the post-occupation wreckage of Baghdad. Just months later, Schmidt re-created Cohen’s natural habitat within Google itself by engineering a “think/do tank” based in New York and appointing Cohen as its head. Google Ideas was born.
Later that year two co-wrote a policy piece for the Council on Foreign Relations’ journal Foreign Affairs, praising the reformative potential of Silicon Valley technologies as an instrument of U.S. foreign policy. Describing what they called “coalitions of the connected,”

The connections between the CIA and social media:
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/social-media-is-a-tool-of-the-cia-seriously/ - You don’t need to wear a tinfoil hat to believe that the CIA is using Facebook, Twitter, Google (GOOG) and other social media to spy on people. That’s because the CIA publishes a helpful list of press releases on all the social media ventures it sponsors, via its technology investment arm In-Q-Tel.
I would suggest adding In-q-tel to your lexicon they are mentioned in Q post #222 and as the “investment arm” of the Clowns I think are relevant to the big picture

Founded in 1999 as a way for the U.S. to keep up with the rapid innovation in science and technology, In-Q-Tel has been an early backer of start-ups later acquired by Google, Oracle, IBM and Lockheed Martin.
“If you want to keep up with Silicon Valley, you need to become part of Silicon Valley. The best way to do that is have a budget because when you have a checkbook, everyone comes to you,” said Jim Rickards, an adviser to the U.S. intelligence community who is familiar with the activities of Arlington, Va.-based IQT.
Re: Apple FaceID
I think is just a generic comment on what can be done with face recognition... Apple’s implementation of Face recognition never leaves the iPhone so the data isn’t shared with anyone, it can’t be, it’s in the Secure Enclave section of the hardware I mentioned before that Apple won’t share.
But the Face recognition ability it has is not limited to Apple and Apple’s iPhoto has been able to ID faces in photos and put names to them for eight years with about 90% accuracy after the user IDs just a few pictures of that same face.
The main difference with FaceID is moving it to 3D and enough accuracy to use it confidently enough to do financial transactions using it.
The CIA’s supercomputers are more than capable of tracking people with face recognition anywhere.
