Some one blew out your lamp because you certainly can not see past your own bias. You are fighting for less privacy for all of us, why?
Nonsense. Only the beautiful people can ignore warrants. The pissants have to supply everything they have locked away or be jailed for contempt.
I am not. I never saw this as a "privacy issue." I always saw this as a refusal by a big corporation to Obey a constitutional law requirement.
The Judge in a court proceeding determines when fourth amendment rights have been met. When a judge decides their is sufficient cause to issue a search writ or warrant, then the "privacy" issues have already been dealt with.
At that point, people need to OBEY THE SEARCH WARRANT.
Failure to do so is to put yourself against Constitutional rule of law.
Apple should have helped to open the dead terrorist's cell phone. No privacy issues were at stake.
