The legal situation is more complex and nuanced than the headline implies, so the article is worth reading. This adds another ruling to the confusing case history regarding forced biometric unlocking.

I mean, it is annoying. But it's security. Don't want people having access to your device, remove all possibility someone CAN.

But it is annoying, we shouldn't HAVE to do this. Privacy should be baked right into our daily lives and not clawed out with tired hands every chance we get.

Yeah. The huge legal distinctions between different ways of unlocking a device seem absurd. Comprehensive privacy legislation would help.
