I'm curious how we can be certain of that. Granted, this is the 'slippery slope' argument.
A lot of people, myself included, don't think the government is interested in ONLY decrypting phones in this class. They want to decrypt ALL of them, en masse, at will.
The hell of it is, as I typed the above, I think of how I would have felt reading those words typed by someone else, 15 years ago. I'd assume they were some kind of conspiracy nut.
- rhino369 11y agoHow else would the FBI compel Apple to do it? If there is some other way, why does doing it the legal way make the illegal way more likely?
- nxzero 11y agoThat's the point, they legally can't make Apple do it.
- nxzero 11y agoAgree, as stated, 15 years ago someone would have thought "nut job" - funny (read crazy) thing is now that the general public switched from believing this was crazy to it making sense.
