summary

This article discusses the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)'s lawsuit against the FBI over their secret practice of breaking into encrypted devices. It highlights how the FBI has been gaining unauthorized access to smartphones and other devices by exploiting vulnerabilities in their security systems. The ACLU argues that these covert actions violate individuals' privacy rights and undermine the principle of security by weakening encryption standards. The article calls attention to the larger debate surrounding government surveillance and the need to strike a balance between national security and individual privacy.
