Apple VS. The FBI


Apple has oppose the Federal Bureau of Investigation's court order ordering the company create a backdoor to the iPhone. The order is part of an ongoing investigation regarding the act of terrorism in San Bernardino, California back in December. The FBI is using the All Writs Act of 1789 to "justify" the expansion of its authority, the government is demanding Apple create a new operating system in which certain security measures are bypassed, and passcodes can be entered electronically, making it "easier to unlock an iPhone. This gives the FBI the ability to "reach into anyone's device to capture their data," Cook wrote. "The government could extend this breach of privacy and demand that Apple build surveillance software to intercept your messages, access your health records or financial data, track your location, or even access your phone's microphone or camera without your knowledge." Cook has made it clear that him or Apple has any "sympathy for terrorists," nothing the company has complied with "valid subpoenas and search warrants." It’s always gotta be that one person who ruins things for the rest of us. Thankfully Apple has back bone and won’t be build by the government and the FBI. Just think of what would happen if the FBI had the power to unlock any Apple device. They may say that they’ll only that power for this one phone, but how do we know that ? I know this involves terrorism and some say that are safety is more important then are privacy. But let me ask you this, how can we be safe if nothing is private ? What do you think ?
