No. Apple goaded the FBI into taking them to court for refusing to assist law enforcement officers. This is a crime. It's a minor one, a misdemeanor at worst, but it's still a crime. Apple made a federal case out of it. Literally. Apple orchestrated the whole thing in order to polish the Apple brand. It was never about civil rights. Apple don't care about civil rights. Apple care about doing something with the $100bn or so of capital they're sitting on. That something is Apple Pay. They played the FBI and the courts and the EFF and the ACLU and all the rest of their supporters and the press like a fiddle in order to build consumer confidence in that system. -- Rich P. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
