Yo solo espero que los ingenieros de Microsoft estén en ese bucle de: "No puedo entrar en Authenticator porque Authenticator me pide un código que debe salirme en Authenticator y que no me sale porque no puedo entrar en la Authenticator". ¡Que sufran!

Govt approves purchase of Israeli tech to clone your phone without legal safeguards, HM nod for order that even bypasses make in India requirements. Superb scoop from @internetfreedom that should make every citizen think and question.
YouTube @dhruv_rathee says Delhi Police tried to clone his phone and failed only because their software was too old for his iPhone. In January, Home Minister Amit Shah personally cleared the NIA to buy Cellebrite, the Israeli phone-extraction tool, bypassing Make in India rules. About ₹5 crore. The spec sheet names iPhones 11 to 14 and specific Android models.
Cellebrite bypasses your passcode and pulls everything. Every app, every chat, every photo. No law says when police may do this, to whom, or how long they keep it.
This is not about one YouTuber. Phones have been seized from protesters and journalists too. IFF has filed RTIs, and has a petition in the Supreme Court on surveillance powers.
Are we comfortable with the NIA, the Home Ministry and State police buying this, with no rulebook? Happy Diwali. May the diyas of liberty light up our lives.

Every decision taken by Gyanesh Kumar has now been reversed. But reversing those decisions raises an even bigger question: If his actions were serious enough to warrant reversal, shouldn't there be consequences for the man responsible?
And more importantly, what if @RitikaChopra__ had never exposed this? What if there had been no public outrage? Would these decisions have ever been reversed?
How many such decisions go unquestioned simply because nobody exposes them?
