We’re facing one of the gravest threats to our right to privacy at this very moment.
As it always does, the government is claiming extraordinary circumstances in order to abridge the rights of Americans. Although it usually is able to do so with little trouble, one very big force is standing in the feds’ way this time around.
The horrific shootings in San Bernardino last year are still fresh in the minds of Americans, so it makes sense that authorities would want to prevent another terrorist act like it from happening. But the way they’re going about it sets a chilling precedent that will almost certainly come back to bite law-abiding citizens in the rear.
See, what the FBI wants to do is have Apple hack into the shooter’s phone so that they can gather information about their contacts and plans for other terror plots. This sounds all and well until you realize that one day it could be you whose phone is being hacked into.
Thankfully, Apple understands this, and has put itself on the line in rejecting the government’s order.
Watch videos about the issue on the next page:
Apple wants to support the civil liberties of terrorist.. The fbi doesn’t want a back door, they want a chance to get the terrorist information without the phone erasing itself… Apple would rather protect its product.
Looking at the intrusions into personal privacy since 911 and the current administration calling farmers and ranchers terrorists, no way in hell should the govt get that from apple for any reason. Remember the patriot act? Get your heads out of the “govts OK ” sand and look at what’s happening. San Bernardino shooting was manufactured for that very purpose.
all they have to do is go to the carrier they can get everythibng off that one phone they want a back door to open all phones i have read the thing its a scam on our freedoms
No
That is a lie apple propagated. It was in court today. Apple is going to lose anyway, the 4th amendment of the Constitution is very clear on this… The phone will erase itself if the fbi guessed the wrong password to many times.. Scumbag apple doesn’t care..
Even Bill Gates said apple is wrong.
Apple could unlock the phone for the FBI, so why don’t they? Same bunch that thinks Snowden is a hero…
Cruz. (cheating CANADIAN)has a stripper in hiding….but atleast its a female..
Rubio was arrested in a gay (robot)park after hours….in Miami….rubio is in tons a gay pics …and is faking a marriage…omg
For all our future privacy protection. Do you honestly trust the government to use the program just this once? If so I have some ocean front property for sale in AZ. It is really cheap, you should buy it.
****PLEASE READ**** ! ! My sons story, There are so many out there praying for us and wishing us well, My son has aspergers, ADD, Clinical Anxiety and Clinical Depression with suicidal tendencies if there is anyone out there, a Celebrity maybe or anyone else with some clout who has the resources to get my sons story heard, My sons story would then have been given a chance of at least being read by the celeb or someone able to help in his cause. The story on my wall has been provided with so much proof it would make them sick over it and someone would have done something by now. I am still praying it will happen. INTERESTED in doing the right thing?? Championing a special needs child Being abused while it is ignored by everyone in the state of Illinois simply because he is different. While they refuse to admit that not only does it happen but that it is a frequent and growing issue across this country This kind of treatment will eventually affect all students and children in all Schools etc. If nothing else can you look at the post on my wall and read his story that I have been posting?
