      You, if anyone should know better. The USG is not going to compromise their 0days just to protect the people's privacy.https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/839172609484914688 …

      Why is this dangerous? Because until closed, any hacker can use the security hole the CIA left open to break into any iPhone in the world. https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/839171129331830784 …

      This isn't really about privacy, it's about security. Artificially extending lifespan of top-tier 0day hurts more than helps.

      .@Snowden But we both know the USG isn't going to compromise their 0-day exploits until they have a better one, or it becomes obsolete.

          .@Snowden Maybe you are more optimistic than me. I don't believe the USG will ever change. They will continue to mature their tradecraft.

          I'm not optimistic, but neither am I fatalistic. Change can never be expected of government; it must be made.

          Everything is changing, and the pace is quickening. The mistake we all make is thinking politics or law will fix this one.

          The end of this labor is by no means near, but at the end of the work, we'll have built a new means of enforcing human rights.

          issue here is the vulnerability equities process. Most govs don't have a process. Those that do rarely discuss it.
