    While this is true it’s still good to add nuance.

    There is a difference between judiciary and intelligence context in these kind of things, if you use a tool in a judiciary context you burn it (as with the FBI malware on Playpen). So it’s probably better to keep it low, even avoid to use some of the information gathered, so you keep the intelligence source.

    I’m not saying that’s what’s going on, just that this is not an absolute proof.
