Or, you know, maybe uphold a $450 million settlement against Apple in an ebook case. Like, the same day Cook posts his open letter. That kind of pressure?

Do people really believe that Apple is not cooperating fully with the US government (and other governments) when it comes to providing Apple customer device data? Any claims otherwise by Apple are just...

Great perspectives in this blog, thanks Rich…It’s hard not to view this court order as a follow up to the technology leaders with the White House over encryption last year. When you have a single...

I can't really see why one would make such a distinction. The fingerprint is just a more convenient way to enter the passcode. If you cannot compel someone to give their passcode, why should you be...

This is the main argument, in my opinion. The bad guys can always encrypt securely, so adding backdoors just removes our privacy for nothing! The article should have made this point! Even if encryption...
