Not at all. Apple is either afraid of losing business or afraid of the enemy to the point of endangering security. Both are unacceptable for such a monopoly
Tgeyd be smart to figure out they’re going down anyway
To demonstrate it possible would show that their systems are not yet bullet proof, given a sufficient bullet.
They are caught between the libertarian set, and the securitarian set, so to speak.
If I were Apple? I would issue a pro-active apology to the user community, saying that nothing short of such sheer warfare (which it is) could justify their involvement without the normal legal scrutiny, but this crosses the line — and then do it.
Is it a monopoly if it’s only on their product? I can’t figure out that one.
Or perhaps they don't want to destroy the security of their products.
Apple is absolutely right about this. The government is doing it's normal totalitarian thing. I'm sick of it. If the feral government would do it's job, it wouldn't need to worry about this crap. Instead, it's worried about being accusing of 'profiling' if it looks at the facebook posts of terrorist infiltrators.
