The article doesn&#x27;t cite a source. It doesn&#x27;t even say that it is anonymously sourced from someone close to Apple (who presumably is leaking). That makes me wonder if the real source of this info is Apple-approved, and sort of an indirect way of engaging policymakers. I get the sense that Apple is picking a fight b&#x2F;c the DOJ has violating an unwritten agreement, basically that Apple will provide all the help requested, informally, as long as the DOJ doesn&#x27;t push for court orders or new laws that tie Apple&#x27;s hands in constructing its devices and the software that runs on them.
