US FBI vs. Apple - Balancing the Fight for Domestic Terrorism & Individual Privacy

Apple previously had until Tuesday Feb 23 to respond in court to a federal magistrate's order that it must help the FBI break into the locked iPhone 5C that belonged to the dead San Bernardino shooter, Syed Farook.  Apple was ordered to create a weaker version of its operating system for this one device, and help the FBI crack Farook's passcode. But the company was granted a three-day extension until Friday, Feb. 26, to respond, according to a person familiar with the case.
