"Sometimes it’s right for private companies to help law enforcement."

It is never "right" for companies to trespass on others' private property.

Go back to Cuba, where you'll feel right at home...

Tim Cook's ass told you this?

It was widely reported in the tech news when China requested the source code for OS X and iOS. Apple said no, but that they would allow China's security people to do a limited security audit under supervision to assure themselves there were no backdoors.

The Chinks have every back door there ever was, is and will be to every Apple product.Source? Seriously - you sound like a pretty grand fool - and that's saying quite a bit. surely you have SOMETHING? Some source?

You are aware that Hon Hai also builds products for HP, Dell, IBM, Samsung, and even MIcrosoft? That there are probably very few "American" companies that don't have things build there?

On the other hand, we know that MSFT screwed the pooch and created a backdoor for "Secure Boot" then accidentally released it; this allows the for Secure Boot to be hacked by ANYONE on the planet. Your "safe" Windows10 install is now wide open. That's what irresponsible backdoors do, and why Apple DOES NOT do this.

You see, THIS is how you make an allegation, and then back it up with evidence - so you don't look like a complete liar and a fool. It's pretty simple. You ought to try it sometime.
