Truth be told, I do not know that much about Apple, I have no clue what their reasonings are, but you have heard of the old and tiring "think of the children" one, for example. Seemingly it seems benign and way too many fall for it, unfortunately. No one wants to seem, or even feel evil about themselves. Can you give me any references to Apple's convincing points I could read about? I wonder if it is something akin to that, or "anti-terrorism". We have to take away your freedom in the name of national security, fighting terrorism, and protecting our children, as it is the case in the political sphere.
