I am a tech company shill as much as any of them - but really, do we think that a company has a right to shield a known criminal from the law? We can argue about what the law is - but we can't argue about the the inevitability of helping law enforcement! We are not living in the ussr! Wake up and support the right thing!

Then it's time for our legislators to codify what the right ting is. Should Apple open phones in drug cases? Divorce cases? What happens when they are presented with a court order from a valid Chinese or Russian court to open up the phone of a "known criminal" (dissident) in that country. Apple operates in those countries under those rules as well. Those governments definition of "criminal" may be different than in this country.

You are asking Apple to be the arbiter of where to draw the line. I'm not comfortable with that. Apple should not be in the investigative business.

And if you can't debate this issue civilly, then I'm done with you. this isn't Yahoo
