    Cellebrite not disclosing the vulnerabilities isn’t very “nice” but it’s not the law. I’m definitely not arguing for this company being ethical in any way. They’re also not the one hacking other peoples devices. They just make the device that is capable of doing so.

    Forgive the analogy, but they’re basically making guns. Now whether or not we should allow anyone to make weapons that could impact others is another question we’ve not had sufficient time to discuss legally yet. Mostly because the govt in my country is old as shit and mostly clueless about tech
