Apple opposes judge’s order to hack San Bernardino shooter’s iPhone

(CNN)Apple has responded to a California judge’s order to help the FBI break into the phone of one of the San Bernardino shooters with a public letter saying it opposes such a move, labeling the instruction “an overreach by the U.S. government.”

While I understand that the FBI has a compelling reason to access that phone and any information that MAY be stored on it, it is also a known fact that law enforcement has a long history of abusing the privacy rights of Americans and any software developed by Apple to break the security of their product would be abused sooner rather than later.
