That would be news to Apple. I can't imagine how many drug charges they must face for all the drug deals arranged through iPhones.And moreover, Apple can be responsible (and moreover, can be held partially legally liable) for ... crimes that are facilitated by iPhones. Apple might have a duty to mitigate those harms.
Again, you're back to your "ends justify the means" argument, which you said you didn't subscribe to.But in this case Apple is not evil, they are in fact trying to prevent evil. That is one factor to consider.
