 there you go https://9to5mac.com/2024/09/26/trump-says-fbi-must-get-apple-to-open-would-be-assassins-phones/ 
 Can’t say I’m too surprised 
 Oh I think they already are 
 1. Never let a crisis go to waste
2. If you don't have a crisis, create one 
 🤙 
 This is why it's so important that we have trustless phones, at least with storage, but even better to the extent that we can get there on the network level metadata through things like DHT, public key cryptography, and proxying technologies. All of which Nostr employs. Graphene OS seems to be a good step in that direction but there's plenty of work to be done. 
 Trump such a scammer, so weird so many bitcoiners haven't figured it out 
 exactly, he got where he is because of fiat. no American politician will truly be for bitcoin, especially when they are in power. 
 It’s off to me that with many owning #btc the idea of working locally to change their current government is seen as ________\\\

My metaphor goes back to a four way traffic light 🚥 that goes out on busy street. Almost every time there is an accidental collision. 💥 Some will choose to stop & offer assistance. Some will choose to ignore. 
Humans always human. 

Then go further & imagine there isn’t an ambulance to call or medical care providers to assist them. 

Side effects of the “anarchy” some people believe in is not fleshed out considering current conditions in the #USA 

Again: I’m retired Army & retired fed. #war shouldn’t exist as no human should be killed to benefit wealthy and top 1% World has been divided FOREVER by those who seek to exploit & colonize humanity & natural resources …

Volunteered my entire life seeking to make the world better. Mistakes happened cause I’m human but never again will I apologize to any #bitcoin person who judges me for my service. 

More good was done changing things from the inside. My respect and love goes out to the dead. My life will continue to be lived to bring equity & world peace 🕊️ lifelong weirdo 🤣



 
 many bitcoiners fell for shitcoin and NFt scams... Being a bitcoiner doesn't make us immune to manipulation and social engineering :( 
 Biden/Harris no scams? Please! 
 Even bigger scammers they are communist  
 Lifelong #weirdo ain’t got time to be associated with the name Trump. 😂 
 The real concern from my perspective isn’t even that people can ask Apple to do it for whatever reason, it’s that Apple has the capability of even doing it. 
 AFAIK, they don't. I think they are looking for Apple to insert backdoors in their future models. 
 Or to add it as a consumer update for later investigations. 
 Shocked, I tell ya 
 I remember a story James Comey telling the FBI can’t hack into an iPhone.  Fake and ghey 
 Trump being Trump 
 Eventually they'll exploit it without Apples help they probably already know how.

 Exhibit 877,654 in the “no one’s coming to save you” files. 
 Wut? 
 As in, no one's coming to save Boomer government from computers and the Internet? 
 wtf is a “would-be assassin”? 😎😁 
 A failed assassin? Like a would-be chef who instead ended up burning all the food so nothing could be served. 
 This is a dangerous slippery slope and not how our justice system works 

There is no such thing as a “would-be assassin”… 
 But there is attempted murder... 
 Yes, you can be been proven guilty of this in the court of law. You are innocent until then.

Then maybe we can open the phone…? Even that, Apple shouldn’t be acting as the arm of the FBI ‼️. Not their job. They’re supposed to be working on their product and making customers happy. 
 Would be an assassin if 1: he wasn’t dead, 2: he could fire a gun straight.

Failed assassin would be a better description I guess. 
 No, a "would be" (often hyphenated) in any terms is someone considering doing something.  A would-be entrepreneur is someone considering starting a business. 
 *Should have read the thread award*
Literally started with the hyphenated version LOL 
 😂🤷🏼‍♂️ It’s like „fake news“, bullshit! but sounds good. 
 I bet the FBI already has access to the Clintons phones. 
 That’s not the kind of opening up iPhones we need from apple.  
 He’s getting scammed by them again. 

They can hack any device in physical custody given a moderate timeline. 

Can we have someone less than 50 years old next time? 
 Jack for president 
 How did Jack and Twitter stand up to political pressure? 
 🥶lol 
 Got my vote 🗳  
 😑 
 Maybe try opening up secret service and FBI phones first, you might catch the assassin sooner 
 It's going to be a long 4 years. 
 Figures. 
 I thought this would be about Trump forgetting his Twitter password… 
 no. that's not happening. 
 BUT HE PAID FOR A CHEESEBURGER WITH BITCOIN??? 
 Don't follow leaders 
 LOL - I WAS BEING A BIT SARCASTIC AS HE IS CLEARLY A SCHMUCK AS WELL 
 Oh I got. I liked it. My comment was more directed towards those of us who somehow think he's one of us.  
 Capitalist to the core. Makes sense. 
 he is clueless on this but overall still 10x better than the other candidate.  
 🤮 
 Politicians won’t save us. 
 But do we think Apple will bend to political pressure like Twitter did? 
 Was listening to the Lex Fridman episode with Vivek last night. He would have been so much better. 
 That's funny. Sly roundabout way of stirring the pot making ppl think. 🤔  
 Sounds like the issue is with e2ee apps than the phone os itself. In any case, Apple and Google will soon bypass e2ee with client-side scanning (if they aren't doing it already). 
 Something to know, is that Apple won't likely "open" the phone. They don't need to. Apple most of the time can't break their own secure enclave for getting into a device this way, without extensive efforts, but just like every other incident where they get asked by governments to pull data from a phone, they usually just restore an icloud backup, which they can access in any way they please because it is on their own device they can control. You can have an Apple device, just turn off everything cloud related and don't set it up to auto connect to other devices. 
 fuck the simps 

just another politician 
 maybe I'm not getting something.  are we talking about the guy that tried to kill him?   
 If Apple cracks it all falls apart. considering they are the most focused on protecting their users. 
 FBI’s like, sorry we’re not allowed to tamper with employees personal property. 
 Fuck 
 „Apple, for its part, has historically held firm that it cannot build tools to access locked iPhones or encrypted data without compromising the privacy and security of its entire user base.“

✊🏻 Hope Tim Cook stays strong. The - at least relative - privacy you enjoy as an iPhone user is one reason why I myself and many others prefer Apple over all other smartphones, especially Chinese’s.

#Apple #privacy #Trump 
 Funny they publicly act like they can’t access them 
 Tell me again about the Hunter Biden laptop russian disinformation….  
 its funny people actually believe you are safe with apple products 
 and lets be real Jack bent the knee the for how long with Twitter?  Its all documented for anyone who is actually paying attention and is not a blue sheep 
 This is why nostr:nprofile1qqs9g69ua6m5ec6ukstnmnyewj7a4j0gjjn5hu75f7w23d64gczunmgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qzxthwden5te0wfjkccte9eeks6t5vehhycm99ehkuegprpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezucm0d9hxvatwvshxzursz8gjrz 
 HEY "DUMB SHITS", THE CIA OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ALREADY CROWED ABOUT HACKING APPLE'S "PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY"! SO THIS IS JUST ELECTION NOISE, DUH! 
 You still use apple? #grapheneos is the way 
 I agree (and I use) but let's be clear, if the FBI approached GrapheneOS devs what do you think the outcome would be? 
 Trump started decaying recently. Just spitting empty phrases. It's not yet Biden level, but it's heading that way. 
 He is 78 years old  
 Who cares

The biggest question if you’re an American is this 

Which candidate cares about the country you live in more?

Physical & Digital privacy is personal responsibility not anything we can expect politicians to prioritize 
 #grapheneos 
 Worst thing about Trump is people worship him. Everything he does is justified somehow. 
 The lesson:

Stupidity in war has long term consequences for everyone

 Didn't realize he had any power right now to even make demands. 
 Like what jack has shared here? FBI should be able to open your phone? 
 Trump aside, your phone is yours to defend and an Apple product should be treated as being exposed under any important circumstances 
 Deffo no trust.  
 Even If you are caught trying to kill a president? 
 Yes 
 That means they have to make backdoors 
 and we all know how much Feds love the back door. 
 No, but I don't think that's gonna happen.

 What about his legislation that benefits the top 1% while having the 99% in USA pay more in taxes? Allowing monopolies & corporations to further exploit the 99.%

Consider, even the poorest in the #USA are “richer” than most #humanity worldwide.
