Every form of media allows politicians to lie all the time, including the news outlets. When ever news outlets show politicians talking, they are letting them lie without question.

I am not talking about the encryption between the iCloud and the device, I am talking about data stored in the cloud portion.

You might want to revise your post. Health data is also stored in the cloud. They also store the iCloud decryption and it is protected by your six digit passcode, which I sure they can get since you have to send it to them to decrypt the iCloud key encryption. So they have some very good security theater
"These features and their data are transmitted and stored in iCloud using end-to-end encryption:
Home data
Health data (requires iOS 12 or later)
iCloud Keychain (includes all of your saved accounts and passwords)
Payment information
QuickType Keyboard learned vocabulary (requires iOS 11 or later)
Screen Time
Siri information
Wi-Fi passwords

I think Warren may win the DNC, Hilary is on her side. She will then run as Warren Vice President, and Warren will have a accident or commit suicide and Hilary will become President, assuming they win the election.

This statement is meaningless, it applies to humans as well, if they see the toddler but there is not sufficient time to react same results. My guess is that Tesla should have a faster recognition than a human.
" The Tesla may detect the kid, but will the laws of physics allow it to stop before the car unintentionally "

Closed Commercial software is abandoned all the time and there have been huge security issues. Open/Closed/Free/Commercial are all the same, the big difference I see is that if the open source project is abandoned by the developers, someone can at least pick it up and continue, not so much for abandoned Closed software

The cracking of the Enigma did not have to do with flaws with it, it was sending out broadcasts in a known format so it was just a matter of having enough time to try lots of combinations. Also the lazy operators for not always changing the settings regularly.
