I think your being downvoted because the techies on hn are concerned with security, not ownership. Apple complying with the government makes everyone less secure. We aren&#x27;t as worried about judicial over reach as we are with creating tools that will be used to commit crimes.<p>Good security will keep out anyone that does not know the secret. That includes &quot;owners.&quot; The concept of ownership is irrelevant to the design of a secure system.
