#22Can someone explain how Apple being coaxed or coerced into searching all of our personal devices for illegal files by federal law enforcement is not an unconstitutional warrantless search?
Probably the same way people say that when Twitter moderates speech on their platform it’s not censorship.
And it’s not censorship when HN bans some posts.

#23As it should be sparked! Apple is asking its engineers to create spyware and deploy it on millions of devices. "Concern" is majorly understating my feelings right now.

It's most likely a demand by China so that they can create an infrastructure to locate political dissidents. Oh look, a Winnie the Pooh Xi meme ended up in your gallery/inbox. Why is there a knock at the door? I'm pretty sure thats the real reason.
what's this take based on - have a link or anything?

National Security Letters for example. They wouldn't even be allowed to talk about it.

Apple isn’t the government.

They’re not coaxed nor coerced
No reasonable company would do something unreasonable as this without being pressured.

As I understand, they're acting as an agent of the government, it's a private company. So, the 4th amendment protecting against unreasonable searches _by the government_ does not apply.
Why stop there? Instead of getting pesky warrants to search apartments, the government could just contract the landlord to do the search for them. After all, the landlord owns the property and ownership trumps every other consideration in libertarian fantasy-land.

IANAL but I presume I consented to this in their EULA.
A EULA cannot force you to give up your constitutional rights.
