This is really big news for all Apple users. The company agreed to backdoor the iPhone for UK users, allowing the government (and any hacker who gets in) full access to your data. This sets a precedent for the rest of the world. #tech #cybersecurity #privacy www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is a backdoor. Elon's coders are creating a backdoor into the US Treasury. This is incredibly dangerous both because of its intended use (by Elon and Trump) and the risk of other actors exploiting a major security vulnerability to cause a massive disruption to the US government.
