So, what's next? Does the government round up coders they think are capable and force them to program?

Pretty crazy to see people here justifying this ridiculous sentence for something that may not have even been done on purpose. What is wrong with some of you?

> FBI Director James Comey already went before Congress and was rejected. I'd say the possibility of him succeeding in the future is even lower, given the way this case has played out. All it will take is a large-scale "terrori

I guess I must be from the wrong generation, because none of these voice-activated products make any sense to me whatsoever. I really just can't see the point.

I've never felt the need to comment on a video on Youtube. The 4chan phrase "pissing into an ocean of piss" springs to mind.

I'm not even sure why Google has sponsored search at this point. They have more than enough revenue from other sources to jettison this odious practice.

If the queries were totally anonymized to protect it from the government itself, and the information provided was thorough and unbiased, I wouldn't have a problem with it at all. If it were done the way China does it, I would. A servic

The UK is always five years ahead of the rest of the West when it comes to codifying the destruction of their citizens' privacy into law.

I'd like to see the Sherman Act used against Comcast / Verizon / ATT. It's like the executive branch has forgotten that law even exists.

This is the kind of trick that only works once, though. The smart folks should see the writing on the wall.

> Please, Dianne Feinstein is equally supportive. She's an anomaly among Democrats. She may as well caucus with the Republicans, given her abysmal record in this area.

Which is what makes me wonder why the hell they're trying to force Apple to write software to break into the phone. They already know the guy's contacts.
