My point was that despite policy/law, the arguments against back doors for encryption rely on the assumption that "the system" and those that control it cannot be trusted. So while it's great that Apple and others are telling us that the location is only shared when calling 911, critics of encryption backdoor would claim this "promise" is just that ... a promise. If good guys can access this data, that means bad guys can too (just like encryption backdoors!)
