FBI vs. Apple: Effort to expand federal power won’t go away

There is a fair chance that you’re reading this on a mobile device.

In fact, there is a fair chance that much of what you read, what you watch, who you email, text and call, the contacts you keep, your schedule, the notes you make and the pictures you take are accessed through your mobile phone or tablet.

That is why the debate about Apple and data encryption is important.
