“Ever since Apple commendably announced last September that it would increase the security protecting millions of iPhones so that only the user – and not the company – would be able to unlock them, Comey has spent months arguing that this could spell disaster for the FBI trying to access what is on suspects’ phones. Since then, other popular messaging services like WhatsApp have followed in Apple’s footsteps and encrypted user’s chats ‘end-to-end.’ Since his initial objection to tech companies enabling end-to-end encryption, Comey has rightly been bombarded with criticism from security experts, cryptographers and engineers.”
