Should Apple help the government hack into encrypted devices?

We had a thread about a year and a half agotalking about this potential risk. Now it’s come to fruition as I think it was obvious it would. Here is what I said then:

@Bone

Currently there is no law or ruling that compels providers of electronics to oblige law enforcement. I would be opposed to any such requirement. The government can not be trusted not to abuse such ability.

Even if there were such a law, there would exist encryption that would be able to thwart it - and then we’re in the same situation.

The ability of the FBI to access Syed Farook’s phone does not jeopardize any of your secrets unless the FBI is who you’re trying to keep secrets from.

I am trying to keep secrets from the FBI. Why? Because fuck them. And the FBI is included in the “everybody” that I am also keeping secrets from.
