There’s this thing called the slippery slope. The reason backdoors are bad is because: once one government shows they can get a backdoor, every other government will want one. The FBI wanted a backdoor for iPhones while completely disregarding the fact that if Apple added one, what’s to stop China from demanding one, too?

There is a back door to every Iphone. Just ask around Boston.

Doesn't count if they sell stuff in China. Chinese iPhones will have a Chinese backdoor, US iPhones will have a US back door.

And since it's easier to program one backdoor to rule them all, we may even have all iPhones be accessible from both US and China…
