Time:

Apple CEO Tim Cook sat down with TIME’s Nancy Gibbs and Lev Grossman on March 10 to discuss his company’s rapidly escalating fight with the FBI over encryption. That is the subject of the magazine’s March 28 cover story, available here. What follows is a full transcript of their conversation.

I love this full court press (sorry – March Madness just started) Cook and Apple are putting on via the media. Granted, they have to but it’s still good to see Apple executives being more publicly involved in the world they live in. What they do affects many of us so it’s good to have them voicing their thoughts and opinions.
