Not the case here: Monsters are already DEAD! No trial to be had. No reason to jeopardize the privacy of MILLIONS. The government is using this case as an excuse.
No, you lot are wearing tin foil hats and are on the verge of supporting crime in the name of privacy.
Well then, let's just wait for Google or anyone else to take the same stance. I'm sure it will suddenly become a noble and principled decision...
Straw man argument, and FYI no I would not support anyone else taking the same stance, they have yet to play their cards on the matter though.
So your saying I have to lose my freedom to protect my freedom. I mean I understand an argument that was, I lose my freedom to protect my safety. There is a logic there, not one I in anyway agree with, but still logical. Losing you freedom to protect your freedom, makes no sense.
I think you have plenty of freedom, you just take it for granted and you are given up 'privacy', don't twist the words into 'freedom'.

Excuse for what? Just cause the terrorists are dead, so I just read, is not an excuse.
You lot are so utterly paranoid conspiracy theorists, do you all have something to hide? I live in a country with thousands and thousands of cameras, your internet browsing and emails are recorded by service providers and the government snoops on you in other ways too, the country is England, and I can bet you a million dollars if you send an email to a UK address or browse a UK website it's recorded.
But guess what? No one cares, we aren't all so paranoid with things to hide, unlike seemingly US citizens?
Perhaps you should have another 9/11 to realise if you want utter security you will need to give up some privacy, and it is up to you as a country to demand and ensure the data is protected like in the UK, where currently they do need a court order to access it.
But at the moment, the FBI wants to access
ONE iPhone (Now remember folks this is something Apple have recently claimed a third party repair shop CAN DO!) to help a terrorist case, a case where 14 americans were killed, and Apple has said NO, how do you think the rest of the world sees Apple as when they say that?
Tell me, what, exactly, do you think the FBI is going to do with your data? How is Apple giving the FBI access going to mean everyone on the planet can access your data? I am confused why the paranoia?
