However, we don't have a "hardened security" approach, we aren't developing a phone for pedo(censored) so they can evade justice.

Finally, Motorola produces a panoply of devices for LEA, if you think a for profit company will not leverage their deal with GOS to sell a bypass device to law enforcement agencies and have the monopoly on that market you are out of your goddamn mind.

You realise that Motorola Solutions (that make stuff for law enforcement agencies) and Motorola Mobility (that make phones) are two completely seperate companies?

Motorola Mobility is a wholly owned subsidiary of Lenovo.

They have nothing to do with eachother beyond just the brand. Motorola Mobility dont even own the rights to the name or logo. They have to license the brand from Motorola Solutions.

I didn't. Good catch. The original point stands though, given Lenovo's history, business practices and their collaboration with LEA, it's just the holding company that changes.
