Apple urges government to form commission on encryption issues

"Apple would gladly participate in such an effort," the company wrote in a post on its website entitled "Answers to your questions about Apple and security". Apple said "the best way forward would be for the government to withdraw its demands" to unlock the phone. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is seeking the company's help to access shooter Syed Rizwan Farook's phone by disabling some of its passcode protections.
