I am indeed careful or even hesitant about defending Apple because I abhor most of their business practices, but they are 100% right in fighting back against involuntary servitude here. The FBI and judges can't just march around and force people to write software for them.
- vectorjohn 11y agoYes they can. And that's how it should be in my opinion. Every time a company is demanded to hand over documents or information about an investigation, that is what happened. A company was ordered to do involuntary work. And it's fine as long as we make sure to keep the warrants in check and not rubber stamped. Drawing the line at software is arbitrary and does a disservice. It's that same narrow minded view of software (as being somehow different than the physical world) that leads to idiotic things like treating email inboxes different than physical inboxes.
- mc808 11y agoI would have drawn the line much sooner, and yes it has to be drawn. If the FBI needs more employees, they should hire some from a pool of voluntary applicants.
