@mjtsai If you take Tim Cook's message at face value, the ability to create such an iOS version means there already is a backdoor.

@landonfuller I suppose you’re right. Could it be any other way?

@mjtsai @landonfuller Yes, campaigning against the legality of the request sets a better precedent than campaigning on the technical merits.

@rosyna @mjtsai If Apple already has it a backdoor, the legality is no different than compelling someone to provide any other key.

@landonfuller @rosyna I thought you were just saying that the way it’s designed they *could* do what the FBI wants. Not that it exists now.

@mjtsai @rosyna Right; meaning they already hold privileged keys, and can be compelled to use them. Whether the code exists doesn't matter.
