Alerting /g/ during the AMA would have been quite a poor decision.

"did" an AMA I should say

Go back to reddit then. You're not welcome here.

Wow you're pretty sensitive aren't you.

Anyway I'm glad OP posted it, it made me realize something

>Yes. Its metadata based, which is not encrypted. Because thats what's used to route data through the system.
I thought encrypted transmissions were completely secure but I was forgetting about metadata.

Maybe there are other cool things further on the thread. You shouldn't dismiss something just because it came from reddit.

Nice double mentality. You forgot that you don't get karma or other shit here, so why did you make this thread? Fuck off
>>
>>51300258
The AMA is over, why wouldn't I post it here?
>>
>>51300280
Why did you not post it when it was still active?
>>
>wah, I didn't get to post "install gentoo"
>>
>>51300298
That reason should be self-evident.
>>
>>51300352
It is. Never post reddit content again and go back to plebbit.
>>
>>51300658
Damn, it's hilarious how hard 4chan users pretend not to use reddit.

Nice try.
>>
>>51300258
Don't fool yourself this is a autism anime watching containment website, normalfags use reddit.
>>
>>51300791
why would anyone use plebbit? they are pretty much bad at everything
>>
>>51300791
>>51300352
Nobody knew about this AMA because most channers don't use reddit.
Quit 4chan 2bh.

Why haven't they killed this guy yet?

OK, kid.

And being a normalfag is a good thing?

Did anyone ask if they really couldn't break into iOS8+?

This made me cringe so hard, do you have, no, do you even know what self awareness is?

He said no software or OS is safe from the NSA.

>>51301369
Why would they need to break into it if they have good contact with apple anyway?

all of your dumb linux threads and other stupid shit you do to inconvenience yourselves for the sake of MUH NSA is literally worthless.

the only thing that would make a difference is for you to go outside or pick up a phone, and none of you fucking nerd would ever do that

how does it feel that literally 50% of the threads on this board are fucking completely in vain?
>>
>>51301448
Pasta?
>>
>>51301464
Because not even Apple has access to a customer's data within the phone.
>>
>>51301653
I really hope you don't believe that bullshit.
>>
>>51300087
could someone post the full fucking link to that AMA?

im not a reddit user so don't automatically think that if you visit reddit day and night others should do it too
>>
>>51301585
They can't get your information if you never connect to the internet!
>>
>>51302106
Phew, what a relief, we can all unplug now and be safe.

I'd be lying if I said reddit and tumblr aren't great for porn. Just for the love of god don't look at the comments.

>not even Apple has access to a customer's data
They have access to anything they want, since they write the software.

>but muh encryption
It's not like Apple is going to drive to your house and steal your phone when it's turned off.

The mouth-breathing post titles are disgusting enough.

There is a huge difference between NSA director and Tech director.

Just another NSA employ turned schizo.

They do write the software but there is no backdoor to the data inside the phone. Prove me wrong.
