Too long for Twitter.
Law enforcement agencies consistently praise Apple for introducing “activation lock,” which they claim has reduced violent robberies because criminals can’t steal iPhones and resell them.
However, these agencies now want Apple to allow law enforcement to bypass this feature, which is essentially the same.
While the lock screen passcode differs from the activation lock on an iPhone, the request is essentially the same: please allow us to guess or bypass the password.
I understand both sides of this issue, but I also believe that there are places, like the human brain, protected by the fifth amendment, where the government should not have access.
