Right now, Apple takes painstaking care to ensure that your Snapchats, iMessages, photos, and everything else on your iPhone stays secure. But if Attorney General William Barr gets his way, all your private data could soon be at risk.

Barr’s position isn’t exactly coming out of nowhere. Apple has been in a stand-off with law enforcement agencies for years now, with the tech giant wrapped up in legal challenges due to its noble refusal to create a software to unlock passcode-protected iPhones. The company has long held the belief that were they to create a tool to allow law enforcement to unlock iPhones, the technology could leak and put everyone’s data in jeopardy.
