  I'm not sure exactly what the correct set of actions for Apple is in the Pakistan case, but I don't feel these two are all that similar. In that case Apple broke no laws. The FBI very likely did not have the legal power to compel Apple to break the phone’s encryption. The FBI issued orders to Apple, Apple legally disputed the orders. Apple's actions in disputing unjust orders is allowed under US law. Versus this case where the Pakistani government does, unfortunately, have full authority to pass and enforce this law as harshly as it wants.

  In the US, the law is not whatever the FBI says it is.

  Providing tools (strong encryption) isn't really the same as managing a whole market and dictating who can and cannot participate based on random whims. If they were giving the FBI backdoors but not the UK or Pakistan, then it would be a different story.

  Apple disputed an order in court and won lawfully? Seems consistent.
