Apple sued for $5M for not recovering data after iPhone theft
Xed said:So this guy had ADP enabled but probably also used a PIN instead of a complex passcode for his device?
Personally, I waited a long time before enabling ADP because of the very clear warnings Apple gives before enabling it.AppleInsider said:While under ADP the Recovery Key is needed, the suit insists that Apple is still capable of doing something about the situation. Mathews' lawyer K. Jon Breyer says it is "indefensible" for Apple to hold onto the data "they don't own."

US lawmakers denounce UK's secretive attack against Apple encryption
How about a U.S. law:
Any U.S. based company instructed by any foreign country to decrypt data of Americans or required to disable decryption of American citizens’ devices (such as computers, phones, or tablets) must immediately cease all operations - including but not limited to sales, support, and services - in said country until such order is rescinded by said country.
The intent not being to hurt the company being asked (Apple, in this case), but to preempt such attempts with a harsh, effective punishment to the offending country.
