Apple’s Tim Cook appears to be mad as hell. His open letter to customers — in which he scoffed at a court order that would compel Apple (under a 227-year-old law) to write code to help unlock a phone that’s part of a terrorist investigation — put the internet’s hot take machine into overdrive. Depending on the take, either the government wants to set a precedent that would allow it to get master keys to all our devices, or Apple supports terrorists because it won’t help a government investigation.
