“We’re definitely not gonna do it anyway, under some secret agreement.”

“Palantir and the like can intercept data in transit and data at rest at the endpoints, so we don’t need data at rest on the consumer devices anyway.”

Eeeyup.

It’s exactly this.

Though Palantir only provides the analysis layer. The local intelligence services source the data and access.

Probably because Apple told them to go fuck themselves.

Or because they got what they wanted a different way.

These efforts are almost never to get access, as they already have backdoors built in, but rather to legitimize the data they’re already gathering illegally. Once it’s legitimized, they can present it as is in court, rather than needing to go through the process of parallel construction.

Plus, legitimizing the backdoors allows other lower agencies access to them.
