There is full 'tweetstorm' that follows (this is 1/5), but I don't know how to link to that. Is it possible to link to a series of tweets?

Or we can read an article by The Verge: http://www.theverge.com/2016/2/17/11040266/google-ceo-sundar...

Another Edit, OT: Twitter is really, really, really hard to use. Stop worrying about onboarding new users, please make twitter usable for existing users.

I'm not sure I understand the distinction he's making. G will comply with "valid legal orders"; what is not "valid" about the order Apple got? Why is granting law enforcement different from hacking devices, the point of which is to gain access to data?

I really wish the restrictions can be reduced or removed so @pmarca etc can tweet more on the companies of which they are the directors of. Same for the CEOs itself, and CEOs and other executives should be allowed to tweet at board of directors and vice versa.

Not quite as hard hitting as I would've hoped. Gruber's take: http://daringfireball.net/linked/2016/02/17/pichai-apple-fbi

Gruber's response is lukewarm too. Pot calling the kettle black.

Gruber has been posting about this all day, and I'm not sure I'd call his reaction lukewarm.

The order has been issued properly, so it is valid, but Apple et al will claim that it violates their constitutional rights. So the order can be issued but not enforced. That;s the "illegal" aspect.
