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.
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.
I think that [there is] this fundamental right to privacy and the philosophy that government shouldn't be intrusive.
The government should always be the one defending civil liberties.
