You are right about the government being able to compel some action. Where it gets tricky with Apple is around the argument that code is speech. The government can compel an entity to do something, but they typically can&#x27;t compel them to say something.<p>Even though this is incredibly unlikely, say for a moment that Apple has only hired developers that feel strongly that privacy is an inalienable right. If Tim Cook concedes to the FBI and gives the order that a hacked version of iOS is to be created, what happens if his developers refuse? Would Tim Cook be put in jail, or would the developers be jailed on contempt of court charges?
