    Yes, we should not allow a #precedent to be set by #Apple being forced to rewrite their software. But it's a mistake to focus on the technical.

    #iOS is #proprietary software. That is unethical---if it were #freesoftware, then the #FBI could simply modify it themselves. Since I believe that all software should be free, that means that iOS should be free and consequently the FBI should be able to modify the software themselves.

    Protections must be done cryptographically and policitcally. Arbitrary feel-good software protections don't count.

    But #codeisspeech. Setting a precedent in this case means setting a precedent againt First Amendment rights. *That* is the problem. Do not support Apple and iOS; support free speech.
