He is absolutely right! But its also true that FBI and Gov et al failed miserably at keeping us safe. Heck, they even failed multiple times at keeping our information safe behind their supposedly unbreakable walls. So no wonder things took this turn!
Any given day, I would rather go with Apple's security attempts, even if "not their business", than accepting FBI's crack on it.
- ianstormtaylor 11y agoActually I'm not sure he's right. (Completely at least.) It's definitely the FBI's job to worry about public safety. But I don't think it isn't Apple's job to sell public safety. As I see it, they sell whatever they choose to sell, as any business does, in the interest of making a profit. These days privacy has becoming a much bigger issue, and something that consumers will pay for. And from the way Apple pitches their products, it seems that they do sell safety.
