I'm ready to sacrifice my extremely convenient way to unlock iPhone just to know this technology is banned worldwide. This technology opens wide doors for surveillance, for finding, identifying and pursuing political opponents - not just their leaders, but every person who was brave enough to protest on the streets. It opens wide doors also for cyber bullying, and this issue is a problem for every country, not only for dictatorships.
