            Right but…they did provide it. And now they’re not. You wouldn’t call removing that encryption “breaking”?

                What does your behavior have to do with whether or not the encryption is broken?

                  Social media doesn’t do nuance.

                  No encryption was broken.

                  Broken would imply that Apple has the ability to decrypt stored user data using advanced data protection. This is not the case.

                  Selling you a box to put your stuff in and selling someone else a locked box to put their stuff in doesn’t mean Apple broke into your box. It means your big brother won’t let you have locks.
