      On #FBIvsApple, would those supportive of compelling Apple to harm their product similarly support compelling doctors to harm a patient?

      @Snowden To be clear, this is not a value statement (nor my analogy). It's an honest question to stimulate debate.

          @Snowden I think it's a bad analogy. Patients - people - have rights. Products don't. What's injured isn't the product, it's people's rights

          @Snowden I think the Government needs to work with Apple to find middle ground. Shouldn't have to be all or nothing.

          @BobbiSue_Badass @AndyRayWimbldon @Snowden As I understand, it's Apple signing the iOS that prevents future misuse. We should focus on that.
