A fair point. I guess what I'm getting at is whether the creative process is an "action" that the government can compel, or "speech" that cannot be so compelled. Is it constitutionally allowable for the government to force someone to design something?


In this particular case, there isn't any creative process being compelled or even anything being designed. It's turning off a couple of security features. It's as creative as flipping a light switch.
