We're selling our freedoms for a sense of security.

Apple is almost too big to defeat. With the flip of a switch, they could turn course. (I would argue in many senses that they have.)

They're already obeying local governments as a central point of censorship and control. Even the FBI/NSA has them monitoring the files on your device.

Apple is too many functions wrapped up as a single legal entity. They have too much control, and they're growing bigger every year.



Sure, (maybe) a valid cause for concern. They seem to be the lesser of three evils though.
