I never made that claim. I never said it wasn't Apple's prerogative to close any loopholes or backdoors. I didn't claim any ethics on the part of Beeper or the original exploiter. I am asking for a provable viable instance where the law was broken and what law and how. The person who blocked me made a lot of claims that they failed to back up with factual information with sources and repeated themselves several times with claims of unlawful conduct. They didn't explain which laws had been broken or how. I would like that information still.

I called myself a layman specifically because in the case of Apple products that's what I am. I'm not criticizing apple for closing a potentially exploitable security flaw. I am saying that this tech company (like every other) is absolutely borrowing within the constraints of the law and outside it from other tech companies and that because that is the case there is some hypocrisy in the stance that somehow other companies are expected not to.
