> This reads like a failure of the NCMEC

Yes, it's a "failure" of a "private" Non(lol, technically, wink wink) Governmental Organization who works extremely closely with the FBI to put their camel-shaped nose under the very tent that the FBI happens to have been trying to breach for 20+ years.

Come on. It's beyond gullibility, at this point, to believe that NCMEC isn't an arm of the Feeb. Specifically, it's an arm that isn't required to comply with FOIA requests, which is particularly convenient.

Two years. At the current rate, you have approximately two years until the Feeb have full access to your iDevice. Though, I will admit, Apple's development of the SEP, their high-priced bug bounties, and their convincing play-acting at defying the FBI after the San Bernardino case definitely had me fooled.

We probably should have been more keen after they failed to close the bugs that GreyKey et. al. exploited.

But now we know. Everything they gave to China, they will give doubly so to their own corporate domicile.
