Ow, I was expecting a Computerphile or Tom Scott video I hadn't watched yet.
That said, it's pretty clear that Apple is in the right here. John Oliver made it look like a debate by saying something bad on their side (probably to conciliate both points and not seem biased), but that has nothing to do with what should be done now that things are happening.

Do link em'. I'm not subscribed to either since I think they cover too much useless fluff, but videos on stuff like this ought to be great.
Yeah, it really isn't as much of a debate as John made it out to be.
"I saw [Twilight: Eclipse] in theaters with a girl I was dating at the time. I spent more time staring at my toes and wiggling them than I did watching this abomination. When Edward proposed to Blank Face, I finally looked up with a revelation.
I blurted out loud, in a dead silent theater full of teenage girls on opening night "Wait a minute, Edward has no blood flow. How does he get an erection?" I heard several men laughing, and had several girls turn and stare at me.
I did not get laid that night." - Berengier817

This is an incredibly important topic. The telling part of this debate is in my opinion that all the the security experts are against creating backdoors. If everybody with substantial knowledge opposes it and only politicians with little to no knowledge of security are in favor of it I think it's clear as day what needs to happen.
