Does anyone else also have this weird feeling that maybe governments can already break into smartphones and this whole "we can't break into it" they tell the public is a facade? (sh.itjust.works)

Many years ago go I worked for a company as their BlackBerry admin. I also managed their other smartphones. They started an office in Russia.

The Russian government wouldn’t let you use a BlackBerry server, they only let you turn over your creds to a server managed by the phone operator.

I assumed this was because they wanted to see those emails.

They didn’t need to do this for ActiveSync or imap devices like iPhone Android or windows phones.
