No, you&#x27;re wrong about fines, imprisonment for contempt, etc.<p>That <i>might</i> be true for senior officials at Apple (Tim Cook, etc) but definitely not for rank and file employees. Any of them that are asked to implement GovOS (to use Apple&#x27;s shorthand for the proposed software) could surely quit instead of doing the work.<p>To be honest, they wouldn&#x27;t even have to quit. I&#x27;m sure there are plenty of people at Apple qualified to do the work. If some of them have moral issues I&#x27;m sure they can go work on other things. Apple will have no problem finding a few folks to comment out a few lines of code and recompile the OS.<p>You&#x27;re basically repeating FUD spread by Apple and others to make the situation seem worse than it is. Normally this kind of FUD spreading is reviled by the hacker community.
