   Apple's statement is the death knell for the idea that it's possible to scan everyone's comms AND preserve privacy.

   Apple has many of the best cryptographers + software eng on earth + infinite $.

   If they can't, no one can. (They can't. No one can.)

     @Mer__edith not a death knell. The UK government doesn't listen to experts.

     > An editorial in the Washington Post argued that "smartphone users must accept that they cannot be above the law if there is a valid search warrant", and after claiming to agree that backdoors would be undesirable, then suggested implementing a "golden key" backdoor which would unlock the data with a warrant [16]
