"...force Apple to be silent giving up Biden-people’s iCloud data via NSL gags."
I terribly misread that as SNL gags.
My brain was awfully (in hindsing - hilariously) confused for a good two minutes... trying to figure out how exactly was Apple sidetracking the imposed silence coalmine-canary-style by creatively leaking some data to Biden's people - via the medium of Saturday Night Live gags.
(My only defense is a self-eyeroll.)
