No. They are abusing a law written two centuries ago to compel a private corporation to perform work on their behalf when they have the resources and know-how to do it themselves in this specific case. They are doing it purely to establish precedent so that they can then proceed to do the same, again and again, on an absolutely massive scale. A scale which wouldn't be possible with their resources. This is shameful and shouldn't be permitted.

It's very simple. Stop trying to compel private corporations to do their job for them.

- maratd 11y agoWould you like to explain how you'll guarantee that those keys won't end up in the wrong hands? I trust those keys with Apple far more than the FBI.
- einarvollset 11y agoBy definition having them be in more places makes them less secure, so clearly I cannot. That's my point though. The FBI is not currently asking for this. But they could.
