> Either everyone gets security or no one does. Either everyone gets access or no one does. The current case is about a single iPhone 5c, but the precedent it sets will apply to all smartphones, computers, cars and everything the Internet of Things promises. The danger is that the court’s demands will pave the way to the FBI forcing Apple and others to reduce the security levels of their smart phones and computers, as well as the security of cars, medical devices, homes, and everything else that will soon be computerized. The FBI may be targeting the iPhone of the San Bernardino shooter, but its actions imperil us all. And when that happens, what’s even more fascinating than this is scary is, What new secret ingenious ways of finding privacy will we come up with? Remember, “...sees censorship as damage and routes around it”? Doesn’t that kind of robo-flesh genius promise to come thru for us here, too? (2016)
