&gt; So you are saying Apple is only helping criminals with encryptions?<p>No I&#x27;m saying that arrogantly the people behind these decisions cannot imagine a scenario in which someone else could hold information about them that would be harmful just by its existence.<p>They can only imagine their secrets being revealed, such as Tim Cook being outed before he was satisfied.<p>&gt; you don&#x27;t fear encryption being used against the average person?<p>I&#x27;m confused as to what you&#x27;re asking, that&#x27;s exactly what I fear. A rapist taking photos of his victim, the evidence being insufficient for a conviction, Apple now protects that rapist and his access to his victim&#x27;s photos at the cost of the victim&#x27;s mental health.<p>&gt; For example if the police would search your phone in a traffic stop, that would be okay?<p>If they had good reason, that&#x27;s the basis of the legal system after all.<p>&gt; The amount of cases you could solve with a crypto backdoor<p>Crypto backdoors are ineffective. Service provider accountability is. This is why Apple is fighting it.
