- studentrob 11y agoAre you implying it's Apple's fault they must defend themselves against the DOJ's attempts to get a backdoor? Apple's job here is to educate the public. If this ever becomes a political issue, we want the public to be informed. We don't want the public to be reactionary. Criminals already know how to use tech. We need a security force who can figure out how to maintain public safety without relying on backdoors.
- merpnderp 11y agoHow is Apple teaching them anything? The FBI can't outlaw math. The real bad guys are already using encryption apps that Apple or US corporations are not in charge of. And if people start getting busted while using iPhones, they'll just start using Cryptocat, Cypherpunks OTR, or any of the other encryption services. Maybe they'll just use PGP and email. Policing is only easy in a police state.
