Exactly. Out of the trillions that they probably process every day, over several years, they only had to turn over “thousands”. If the government can find a bunch of loopholes to get what they want, then that’s hardly the fault of Apple.

If the worst you can say about Apple is that they still, very rarely, are forced to turn over data to the government due to bureaucratic loopholes and are no fault of their own, then I still stand behind them.

And if they got anything useful out of that data? Then it is the fault of the actors for not properly encrypted their data when they have the opportunity.
