    It's hard not to read tonight's events as permanently damaging the credibility of #FBI claims on encryption. This was basic pre-trial work.

        @Snowden The #FBI wants people to believe it can't break encryption. And Apple wants them to believe it's fighting for privacy.

        @Snowden Don't know, Maybe they just didn't know before. Also: scary if a company can do this, because it would still mean "backdoor".

        @Snowden Do you believe they've been shown a way in, or is this an excuse to bail on the fight to avoid losing & setting a bad precedent?

        @Snowden @TheDivineBebe is FBI an anagram of ‘FIB’?

        @Snowden Do you agree with some that say FBI/DOJ cancelled because they knew they'd lose?

        @Snowden Its good they may be backing down. They had no case for setting the precedent of backdooring all iPhones to retrieve data from one.

        @Snowden unless i'm wrong, they just majorly stuck their foot in their mouths on the issue.
