I read the details. I think I understood it perfectly well. I found it very objectionable.

Great! It’s a shame voices of people like you were next to impossible to find amongst the ignorance.

I think there’s a strong argument for and a strong argument against the system Apple designed. I wanted that discussion to be had instead of it all being washed away with knee-jerk ignorance.

I found quite a lot of intelligent debate about this. Not in the popular media, of course, but that's to be expected.

I was here for the discussions on hacker news, and it seemed to me like most people knew basically how it worked. A lot of people on here defending the authorities and clutching pearls about “think of the children” telling us we didn't understand and when we presented them with evidence that we did in fact know how it worked they would go radio silent.
