Apple’s fight with Trump and the Justice Department is about more than two iPhones.

The battle between pro-privacy techies and law enforcement officials who want access to encrypted data to investigate crimes has been raging since at least 1993. The Clinton White House promoted the Clipper Chip, which would allow law enforcement access to encryption, saying encryption "can be used by terrorists, drug dealers, and other criminals." The chip never took off, and encryption thrived.

In that case, the FBI wanted to break into an iPhone used by a mass shooter in San Bernardino, California. The case spilled out into a court battle with specific legal arguments before the FBI said it found a third party that could unlock the device and gave up the court battle, leaving the issue of whether Apple would be compelled to unlock the phones unsettled.

Not Trump, not the Justice Department. If you are a victim of a crime would you like the encrypted messages of the person that harmed you or your loved ones to be protected? Decent, honest people have nothing to fear, nobody gives a s**t what you do online.
