Apple challenges British government’s plans to weaken encryption

“The creation of backdoors and intercept capabilities would weaken the protections built into Apple products and endanger all our customers. A key left under the doormat would not just be there for the good guys. The bad guys would find it too.”

Exactly right. The government—all governments—need to realize that leaving a door open is a door that’s open to everyone, not just law enforcement. They don’t seem to get that.

Good for Apple.
