They didn&amp;#x27;t even bother intercepting his email at the network or service provider level.&lt;p&gt;Edit: &amp;gt; &amp;quot;Apple increased the encryption aspects on the phone allegedly to prevent snooping from the NSA. However, this increased encryption would also prevent the Chinese authorities from snooping on Apple user data.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s a shame articles keep confusing Apple&amp;#x27;s harddisk encryption with network data encryption. :\</text></comment>

I don&amp;#x27;t have my notes handy, but it can easily be taken advantage of by anyone, not just the Chinese government. I&amp;#x27;m somewhat confused by this, as it would not be difficult to just bundle MitM CAs with this browser.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s also not as popular as frequently reported. It is widely installed because many orgs are required to have the security software that bundles it, but when I was researching it the consensus I got from several Chinese people was that few people actually used it - &amp;quot;only old people who don&amp;#x27;t know computers use it&amp;quot;.</text></comment>
