I don&#x27;t misunderstand at all. I just have a different opinion than you do. However, a lot of misinformation is being spread.<p>The FBI isn&#x27;t asking for Apple to create a backdoor. End of story. They&#x27;re compelling Apple to open a backdoor that Apple already created. Apple made an insecure system. They can, and I think <i>should</i> fix it, but in this phone at least the back door is there.<p>So, wait to use a slippery slope argument when it actually becomes applicable. You&#x27;re so trigger happy to jump on the privacy, precedent setting bandwagon you didn&#x27;t stop to think what this case actually is.<p>Basically, as long as you make insecure systems, the government <i>can</i> (by the fourth amendment no less) demand you let them in if they have probable cause and a warrant. If you make something impossible to get into, and the government starts demanding you stop making devices like that, then we have a problem. But this particular case doesn&#x27;t get us any closer to that outcome. Not even symbolically.<p>I think you and everyone else overreacting to this case grasps gravity that isn&#x27;t there. You&#x27;re tilting at windmills.
