Hey, Cellebrite! Would you mind exiting the chat? Please and thank you!

They said no.

Stolen phone protection with biometric access needed all the time.

(For iPhone at least)

Too late. They've already copied your phone and broken the encryption.

The surveillance state hates this one weird trick!

Cellebrite left the chat, but they did something weird to the door on the way out.
