The ‘gun storage’ company was Liberty Safe that gave the bureau the back door combination to a safe belonging to a J6 defendant. If you remember the controversy about Apple refusing to give access to the cell phones of the Islamic mass killers in California, one might think that terrorists have more rights than conservatives. And while you’re at it, ask a liberal why George Floyd’s life had value, while Ashli Babbitt’s had none.
Apple is required by an Act of Congress and US Law to provide the National Security Agency the backdoor and the any cryptographic keys/combinations. Whether it be software or hardware or the operation of communications it is mandated at the highest level from Congress to our top echelon security agency, who in turn monitors or allows specific monitoring of specific domain (such as within the US or overseas or specific clouds).
The US Patient Office cannot issue product licensing patient without the NSA approval. No patient, no product, no device in the marketplace.
The encyption issue was not with Federal Law Enforcement.
All that hoopla over Apple was pure old American hype for a US Product at a time when Samsung was making inroads and challenging the market dominance. The average consumer equates the “Apple backdoor” to security and somehow comes away thinking the Apple product is somehow superior and better.
The top level engineering managers at all communications related organizations such as AT&T, Sprint/MCI, T-mobile, Verison, Cisco, Microsoft Web Services, Amazon Web Services, attend US Government under the apuses’ of the US Army. This includes a select few from the DOD, CIA, State.... Both government and civilian employees require a specialized Top Secret Clearance. This training is about the “requirements” *Demands & Obligations” for ensuring the NSA maintains the pulse of oversight. Without meeting the training requirements (staffing requirement) and without compliance no communications node can function or is allowed to pass data. The majority of these people work hand in hand with one or more security agencies or in tandem with liasion.
The United States used to control the Internet and could at the “flick of a switch so to say” shut down over 90% of communications worldwide. As many may remember the hoopla at the UN about the Internet and control by various member nations, it was a security interest in their national interest - and I’m sure except for a smokescreen nothing has changed.
“why George Floyd’s life had value, while Ashli Babbitt’s had none”
Did that. Ashley was a rioter. Floyd was a victim. Pointless. It’s their religion and you’re not going to change their beliefs.
