I disagree with this Judge and Apple is not hurting for the legal fees to appeal this Court's order. So, if there was any exigency; the Court has delayed discovery of any other plotters or conspirators by agreeing with the FBI and government's stubborn foolishness and the lack of regard for the computer user's security. Apple may take this issue to the Supreme Court and it may take 2 years to get resolved.
What an unneccesary cluster-fuck this has become 
Had this whole matter been approached with some common sense; - There would be no drama
- There would be no breach of security for law abiding citizens
If it was an Android phone in question would Google just roll over or dig their heels in and object also? |
I think the govt isn't too worried about this one phone.. They are using it as a way to get backdoor access. I'm sure they just assumed they could pressure Apple into complying.
