I question the legal authority for a court to force #Apple to release its private signing key strongly; that's equivalent to forgery.
I'm less sympathetic about the FBI's request for the source code to #iOS, beacuse I believe that all software should be free. With that said, that's an unacceptable precedent, and doesn't actually provide any practical freedoms---it in fact violates them (Apple's), and would set a precedent to violate others.
