A mix of national security, tech glitches, and policy debates drives this discussion with Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Eric Bolden, Marty Jencius, and Web Bixby, starting with a case where iPhone contact merging was blamed for a classified information leak. The group questions the logic behind that defense and dives into how apps like Signal and iOS handle contact data. Additional topics include Apple Store sales surges tied to tariff fears, the UK’s encryption fight with Apple, and Zuckerberg’s testimony in Meta’s antitrust trial.  This MacVoices episode is supported by Notion.
