I&#x27;m merely disagreeing on Apple&#x27;s motives. Yes, the voyeurs want backdoors, and yes Apple has built a backdoor. But I don&#x27;t think Apple has created this backdoor <i>for</i> law enforcement. I think it&#x27;s simply due to them, like any other company, having a hard time giving up control and creating open platforms.<p>Don&#x27;t sweat the downvotes. There seem to be a lot of Apple customers that don&#x27;t have a technical clue about what guarantees other systems actually provide or what capabilities are theoretically possible. I surmise they view computing systems solely in terms of productized offerings from companies, and thus Apple is the leader of the pack for privacy and this case is key to preserving that privacy.
