I asked in the referenced thread for any US precedence of forcing an innocent to work against their will. I do not know of any.

If the courts, NSA, congress has been forcing innoscents to work against their will then it will greatly change my view/ understanding of the US government, the problems faced by the american people and the world.

basic subpoena forces one to provide the required info. With a little bit of a stretch we can see how a subpoena can be issued for the [future] clear texts that "your webpage" ( an applet downloaded as part of the web page ) will "contain" before sending encrypted version back to your server - in short it means forcing to implement backdoor.

Oh sure, definitely, that seems like that is within the scope of the currently claimed power. As far as I know though the operator has the option of closing up shop however and therefore is not being forced to work against their will, but not a fun choice though.

I am interested in any case law that disallows the operator the option of shutting down rather then implement a back door or anything similar.

Would some of the issues around pharmacies being required to sell birth control or plan b medications fall into the same category?

I believe that's a completely different issue given that selling pharmaceuticals is highly regulated and requires licensing. To my knowledge, there also aren't any sanctions for a pharmacist choosing to quit rather than dispense medication as required.
