Apple kills plans to scan for CSAM in iCloud

I would really like the defence to be based on our rights as human beings, rather than 'placing undue burdain on a corporation'.

Suppose next time NSA writes the code for Apple and Apple just has to sign it, will the defence stand uo in court?

Due process and speech are among our rights so that’s literally what this is

If NSA has a way to break into a device without violating any parties’ rights, they would do so.

Even if NSA wrote the code you might argue the [Apple just has to sign it] step violates Apple’s rights.

However, it's repeatedly been show that they either 1) Break our rights w/ impunity or 2) They go to rubberstamp courts that practically never deny a request to invade privacy.

Wasn't that how FISA warrants were enforced?

Presumably yes, for both of the same reasons, or at least the first one.
