Apple absolutely needs to comply with the FBI's request.
And then give the same capabilities to the governments of every country they do business in.
Our politicians might actually fight for our interests in digital privacy/security if theirs is directly threatened by the governments of China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia.
If our government needs this to do lawful search and seizure, so do all these others.
I'm tired of our gov acting like they're above reproach and somehow more deserving than any other naive government. History has shown they can't protect us from terrorists 100% of the time, and it shouldn't come at the expense of our civil liberties - at the expense of the principles and detracting from the identity of what makes us American. They can't even protect the information of people who elect to share their privacy with the gov (OPM breach/leak of which I was a victim). They shouldn't have the ability to violate the security of [realistically] billions of phones. It's absurdly overreaching and a massive abuse of the authority we "give" them.
Caveat: Not complying and this other plan of action would both upset stockholders.
