    I would leave the title. It’s important that people be critical but willing to adjust opinion.

    Apple has fought these in the past (San Bernardino shooting / Phone unlock). It is honestly best for them to never take a case on this issue that they could lose.

      …edited but kept a note, it was bugging me.

      I remember that case, yeah apple does some good here. I remember 404media running a story about iphones rebooting preventing unlock by police recently( 1 and 2 ). I guess you/they really don’t want any present established for that.
