I disagree, and here&#x27;s why it is different. If Apple had a &quot;thing&quot; and a warrant said &quot;give us this thing&quot;, then Apple would be compelled to turn over the thing. But Apple doesn&#x27;t have this thing (the software to hack their own security). The government is saying &quot;make us this thing&quot;, ie asking Apple to execute the warrant - which is unprecedented - it&#x27;s the governments job to execute the warrant not a private company&#x27;s.
