Apple only kind of stood up to the feds, they happily handed over the terrorists icloud account and all things associated, they only refused to be compelled to write software knowing full well that the FBI already easily had the capability to break into the iphone. I would say that the government having some sort of restricted access to this data could be useful and important to society IF, and only if, there were better civil liberties protections in place. DHS has way too much power, and we heard from Edward Snowden that our data is often irresponsibly used.
