I think few people are making the appropriate parallel. What we’re looking at is not necessarily government overreach, but fascism. When the hell did it become Apple’s job to do this? Apple is not a branch of law enforcement. The government needs warrants for stuff like this. We are merging corporate and government interests here. Repeat after me, Apple is not supposed to be a branch of law enforcement. It also says a lot about us, that we are beholden to a product. We have to ditch these products.

> When the hell did it become Apple’s job to do this? Apple provided a pathway, however unintentionally, to greater power. And those in power used their existing authority to gather even more for themselves, as they always do. Like drops flow into streams into rivers into oceans, power aggregates at the top until regime change spills it back to the ground.
