I don't care much about Karma. I posted this specific topic since I find it kind of hilarious that police should now lawfully be able to do something they are almost surely not able to do. And I enjoy discussions to such topics here on HN, because most of the time the viewpoints mentioned here are at least of the same quality of the answers on stackexchange.
If it had a discussion or even a good answer, it would have made perfect sense.
I assumed the goal would be stack overflow karma, as that's actually valuable.
An Ask HN with the same kind of question could have reached the front page.

The main CPU/application processor/main CPU might be running better secured Unix/Linux and might be able to protect itself from peripheral CPUs, but that's not the point; a phone had always been a pair (minimum) of computers, traditionally referred to as Application Processor(AP) and Baseband Processor(BP), of only the slightly faster one is exposed to the user, and it's unclear what is going on inside the other one or how to handle it. That's the problem.
