I AM SO FUCKING MAD RIGHT NOW. What is even more fucking bonkers than this fucking letter is the disgusting responses to this letter, specifically due to misleading headlines on the LA Times article: "Why Apple is battling investigators over San Bernardino terrorists' iPhone" This has less to do with terrorists and everything to do with APPLE PROVIDING A FUCKING BACKDOOR INTO YOUR IPHONE, MY IPHONE, YOUR GRANDMOTHER'S IPHONE, YOUR 9 YEAR OLD CHILD'S IPHONE. Top comments on the LA Times article include: "This is treaonous bullshit. Apple appears to be supporting terrorism. Save your privacy poppycock. There may be clues to an ongoing conspiracy in that phone that might save the life of a family member or you. Hate government? Join the Bundys." "Shame on Apple! The war against terrorism is world wide. Whose side is Apple on? Does Tim Cook want to see more dead Americans like the innocent people who lost their lives in San Bernardino?" Are you fucking kidding me? The terrorist angle is simply there to instill fear and deception. Don't fall for the bait. Shame on you LA Times and others and ignorant commenters who are willing to neget privacy and security in order to "stop terrorism". How many times are we going to fall into this fucking trap?
Infamy and ignorance driving page-views. It's a solid model, tried and true.
