data government giving
I'm not targeting government. I'm not saying hey, I'm closing it because I don't want to give you any data. I'm saying that to protect out customers, we have to encrypt. And a side affect of that is, I don't have the data.
law messages needs
If I'm expected to keep your messages, and everybody else's, then there should be a law that says, you need to keep all of these.
should-have keys locks
No one should have a key that turns a billion locks. It shouldn't exist.
able location messages
If I know what your messages are, if I can read those, I'll probably be able to conclude where you're going, who you're with, the location the message was sent.
law enforcement cameras
Maybe law enforcement would like the ability to turn on the camera on your Mac.
want lasts target
In the world of cyber security, the last thing you want is to have a target painted on you.
zero giving-up believe
I believe that if you took privacy and you said, I'm willing to give up all of my privacy to be secure. So you weighted it as a zero. My own view is that encryption is a much better, much better world. And I'm not the only person that thinks that.
apples government facts
I don't own encryption, Apple doesn't own encryption. Encryption, as you know, is everywhere. In fact some of encryption is funded by our government.

Certainly some things that are very good can sometimes be used in a bad way.

philosophy thinking government
I think that [there is] this fundamental right to privacy and the philosophy that government shouldn't be intrusive.
community gold growing
It's clear why hacking communities are [growing]. Because it's like, there's a lot more gold there. There's a lot more to steal than ever before.
smart home phones
There's a lot of health information available on your smart phone. There's financial information. There's your conversations, there's business secrets. There's an enormous long list of things that there's probably more information about you on here than exists in your home, right. Which makes it a lot more valuable to all the bad guys out there.
