I don’t think I agree. If you think this boils down to instinct, do you think a story about coming together to save the next generation will work well on people cynical enough to see TLAs around every corner? At the very least, I feel like Apple should probably make a concession to the conspiracy minded so that they can bleach any offensive bits from their device and use them as offline-first DEFCON map viewing devices, or some such.

> do you think a story about coming together to save the next generation will work well on people cynical enough to see TLAs around every corner? Absolutely not. I don’t think they need to persuade people who are convinced of their iniquity. What they need is an environment in which those people look like they are arguing over how many dictatorships need to collude to detect anti-government photos and how this constitutes literal 1984, while Apple is announcing a way to deter horrific crimes against American children that they have seen on TV.
