Good. Congress shall pass no law abridging freedom of speech, and code has been ruled free speech.
The only reason previous wiretapping laws were passed is because they weren't in the limelight and the public never had a chance to weigh in. Let's make this an election issue
- dragonwriter 11y ago> The only reason previous wiretapping laws were passed is because they weren't in the limelight USA FREEDOM was passed fairly specifically because the issue was in the limelight.
- kzrdude 11y agoTake a step back and fight campaign finance and gerrymandering, so that people are once again represented well in lawmaking. Campaign finance needs to be reformed so that it becomes affordable for representatives to represent their country instead of their sponsors, and gerrymandering so that democracy has the competition it needs to select better politicians.
- studentrob 11y agoI'm fine with that. But this issue is being debated now, and if you choose to not take a side, keep in mind that that is still taking a side. You've simply let someone else decide for you.

- teacup50 11y agoWhich, ironically, is exactly what Apple is protecting here. DRM.
- rimantas 11y agoDRM for your own data is called privacy.
- teacup50 11y agoApple, a 3rd-party, holds the master keys, and you don't. So no, that's not DRM for your own data.
- pc2g4d 11y agoBut that's simply not entirely true. The encryption keys for the phone's data reside on the phone and are only available with the PIN/password. Apple does hold the keys for software updates, which can be pushed without user approval. Maybe that's what you were referring to.
