okay. understood. btw I cut out some non-essential part:
let’s talk about big sur. let‘s forget that guy’s research and the fact that his hostility to Cupertino is a bit obvious.
Let’s think with our own brain. why this certificate check or malware search must be done online? Why can’t it be done locally? i understand that certificate validity changes, as well as malwares. But as we are used to security updates, why can’t TRUSTD, gatekeeper or anything else get updated so that everything can be checked, quarantined, stopped by my own device? doesn’t it make sense?
you should be in favour of this if you think that “the internet is not a safe place”.
Let’s just discuss this and forget about backdoors and other stuff whose real existence can be debatable.
Please, if you care to reply i’ll be glad to hear from you. Let's stick to logic.
If we could shift the focus of this conversation from being an attack/defence of apple, maybe it would be more constructive.
