Does anybody see through these PR plays? They&#x27;ve unlocked many phones in the past for the government, they&#x27;re protecting their technology and using the moral issue to look good at a time when they&#x27;re still majorly losing their way. To me this looks like governmental appeasement. Shutting down Snowden and other&#x27;s methods of private communications is a fantastic gift to the government who doesn&#x27;t want more of that type of scrutiny and people talking about the NSA badly, there&#x27;s already enough thinking they&#x27;re a major problem. What perfect a guise to get it done under another companies name that also happens to be having a great PR week on the back of data they gave up or are going to give up anyway, they always knew that. I wish more people would think for themselves or at least consider why the script might not be reality. They hired him! What happened is a formerly non corporate secure, private form of communication is now... who knows what. Maybe the government just figured out how to deal with the next Lavabit and not deal with more backlash. Nobody trusts them right now, everybody seems to love this Apple letter PR play.
