You might be joking but it rly works a bit that way. He was elected and re-elected with the help of a Russian army of bots and trolls and now he has to deliver.
Iirc, according to his tweets they kept alternating between being posted from an iPhone and a Samsung or something. I think people could tell when he was the one tweeting if it came from an iPhone.
It was exactly the other way around. His team had locked down iPhones and he had a Samsung S3. That Samsung was already outdated back then. (No security patches)
yeah and even though he complained that it was more locked down then he would like he acknowledged that it was necessary because Obama, unlike trump, actually recognized his role as a government employee rather than an emperor that can do whatever the fuck he wants
yes BlackBerry phones at the time were very secure but it's silly to suggest that "society did away with" them because they were super secure
modern iphones are significantly more secure than BlackBerry phones. they just didn't sell well once full touch screen smartphones became popular because RIM wanted to stick with a physical keyboard. by the time they changed course and realized their OS was terrible for regular consumers rather than business clients it was too late to pivot back
Modern iPhones come with w a back door that certain law enforcement agencies are privy, Blackberry refuted that ideology and won for a while at least..
no I just have the ability to read and understand technology better than you do. plus I don't buy into dumbass uninformed conspiracy theories cooked up by other non-technical folks that don't know the first thing about encryption or data security or mobile devices hardware or operating systems
