U.S. Says It May Not Need Apple’s Help to Unlock iPhone

I need to explain myself a bit more clearly.

For many years all tech companies have, as expected, complied with warrants. We don't expect otherwise.

Now, in this one case, Apple is fighting the warrant.

And some people are saying "Look how great Apple is; they really care about your privacy".

Well, no, not really. Apple isn't as bad as some, but they still gather too much data and they still (as they should) obey any warrant they're given.

This isn't a warrant, it's a request for far more than that. Apple is being asked to develop new code to actively defeat its own encryption measures.

It seems silly to bicker over whether a company is all good or all bad. Do you know any people who are all good or bad? Are you?

Hate or support the game, not the player. Stand up for ideas, not people.

Can you tell more what exactly superfluous data is Apple gathering?
