re: #108 Belafon

And I really, really don’t mind if Apple does it themselves. I prefer it. The FBI would have to get a warrant to get GM to remotely unlock your car. But when a judge authorizes it, it’s a bit beyond cops randomly looking for stuff.

Not really analogous, since GM makes remote unlocking a feature when it sells the car. The Gov’t is simply asking GM to use that feature.

Here, the Gov’t is asking Apple to develop something Apple does not want to exist, which damages Apple’s brand, and potentially damages Apple’s customers.

It’s like the difference between a same sex couple wanting a wedding cake from a place that makes wedding cakes, and somebody wanting a kosher butcher to sell him bacon.
