Here's another thought Bill.
Can a government order a corporation to make a new product using considerable resources for the governments use.
What if an African government didn't like you giving out mosquito nets and said: no - you go to your factory and make us 10,000 nets and give the nets to the government, so we can give give it to our politicans and then if they so desire they can give it to the people so the government looks like a hero. Here's a court order making it so.
- tailgate 11y agoGenerally they would just take the factory: "nationalization". You try getting a businessperson to work for free.
- ck2 11y agoThat's an interesting thought. I wonder how safe the internal apple devs are that could build what the FBI is demanding. If the FBI can identify them, they might "disappear" if the FBI doesn't get their way from Apple. But nah, our government would never do that, right? Only China and Russia, etc. Wish I really believed that.
