Above: Privacy Law expert and law professor, Marc Rotenberg of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, says the implication, if Apple did unlock the San Bernardino gunman's phone, is that future phones would have to have a built-in backdoor.
Quite an informative listen, given that today the Department of Justice filed a motion to compel Apple to cooperate with a government investigation and provide it with technical assistance. In the motion, the DOJ argues that Apple "retains the technical ability to comply" with the federal judge's order and that its "current refusal to comply with the Court's Order, despite the technical feasibility of doing so, instead appears to be based on its concern for its business model and public brand marketing strategy."
Personally, I'm not convinced, and as I have pointed out my previous post, the end sought by the government here (though, undoubtedly important) does not justify the means.
