ACLU’s principal technologist reacts to NSA hack with the perfect tweet about Apple/FBI battle<div class="feat-image">

https://9to5mac.com/2016/08/12/proof-apple-was-right-to-fight-the-fbi/" target="_blank">Microsoft security leak[/url] as proof <a href="
https://9to5mac.com/2016/02/18/fbi-apple-encryption-master-key/" target="_blank">of my point[/url] that any iPhone master key created by Apple would inevitably fall into the wrong hands in time – and even more powerful support for that position now exists.</p>
<p>It was <a href="

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Apple: If we're forced to build a tool to hack iPhones, someone will steal it.
FBI: Nonsense.
Russia: We just published NSA's hacking tools</p>
