You support gun confiscation and Chinese identity theft, got it. It's for the children.

That's fucked up, but it's understandable for guns. If you build better hardware it doesn't necessarily get shared and if you take away mine, the JBTs can keep theirs.

The difference is there's no marginal production cost to math. So where physical conflict is prejudiced towards win/lose and lose/win on a 2x2 cooperate/defect matrix, computing infrastructure is biased towards win/win and lose/lose. Every backdoor you build, you build for China.

There is no way to do that securely. That's the problem. It's a massive, massive, massive security weakness. Once discovered and the details disclosed, it puts the security of hundreds of millions of devices at risk. It can and will be criminally exploited eventually. 

And if Apple does agree to that, it'll make your job harder in the long run. Criminals (and law abiding people like me who really love the 4A) will use open alternatives, that are heavily and independently audited. If you want to look at my personal stuff, you'd better hope I trust it to a big tech company, instead of compiling audited code myself to make DAMN SURE you ain't looking at anything I don't want you to. And again, I'm not even the one you need to worry about. 

There are unintended consequences to this stuff. You're really just squeezing a balloon.

Remember how cops weren’t going to enforce infringements on the 2A created by the SAFE Act? That was funny.

Not one more inch. 1A, 2A, 4A, 5A, it doesn’t matter. Infringement is infringement.

The government already has a search warrant for the data in question in this case.  Microsoft is trying to not comply with the warrant by saying that the data (of the US person) is currently being stored in a server based oversees (Ireland, if I recall correctly).  The government is arguing that the data is still "controlled" by Microsoft (by any reasonable definition of the term) and should be subject to the warrant.
