Apple is a company that has gone completely out of it's way to protect their users from end-to-end encryption and refusing to introduce backdoors into their products to get data from suspected terrorists.

These slippery slope type arguments tend to assume that there is no middle ground between sides of this argument.

“Unreasonable search and seizure” in the US has traditionally meant you needed a warrant from a judge stating specifically where you are going to search and what you are searching for. We now seem to be just tossing that out of the window. The government can’t do it, but it can deputize a private organization to do it and that makes it now ok?

I have been saying this for years now. The gov’t is basically outsourcing violating the constitution to companies. Free speech? Just have Twitter, Facebook and Google censor unacceptable speech. 4th amendment? Have the private sector violate it. Easy peasy.
