Can the US government pass a law to force Apple specifically to rip out the messages app and replace it with something that apparently doesn’t have infinite exploits??

There is no such thing as a device or software without exploit, even a carrier pigeon can be cought and the messege read.

Not if you wirte the message using invisible ink.

I wouldn't trust a service whose source code is not accessible though.

We may not have carrier pigeon DNA readily available, but it is certainly accessible!

How would that help them? Even if that were an effective measure (which it isn't), it was almost certainly a us spy agenciy that did this.

Not necessarily, five eyes share intelligence responsibilities
