Apple should break open this phone, but NOT give the key to the feds.
Ask yourself if China demanded Apple open the phone would already be opened.
All the libtards coming out against Apple convince me more and more that Apple is right
Bite that, Mr. Big Shot....protector of the world...not.
Stay strong Apple
MacAffee said he’d hack the phone for free, but that’s not what the government wants
They want the encryption back door so they can spy on everybody with an iPhone... it’s not just this one terrorist, MacAffee called their bluff
And the great point he made is such a back door would undoubtably be hacked by the Russians, Chinese, and pretty much anybody else willing to make the effort
Sounds like the author here is merely apologizing for Trump’s ludicrous statements and position on this topic
This is to establish a precedence. Apple should hold out until a warrant is handed to them.
They [the FBI] I believe has all the information from the phone. So you’re right, it’s about ego. But it’s about the DOJ ego.
Here’s my writ for a drug dealer’s phone, and evidence that Apple has done it before. Open it. Here’s the phone of a civil dissident in China, do the same. Here’s the phone of a woman caught driving in Saudi Arabia, open it. Here’s the phone of a Christian in Afghanistan, unlock it.
Once done, it will have to be always done.
Moreso, what really is the material difference between this and ordering a baker to make a cake? Are there other areas of the RFP process that should also be handled by judicial writ?
And does this writ give immunity to Apple against lawsuits for false advertising saying that Apple claimed these phones were secure than deliberately made them less so?
There are thousands of issues clouding this whole debate. At the core, the perennial question of trading temporary security at the cost of liberty. Does opening the San Bernardino County owned phone of the husband of a Pakistani terrorist justify all?
I don’t think so. I doubt that there is any relevant data available on that phone.
The FBI tells the County to reset the password, then whines when the phone is screwed up. Then they sue Apple to clean up their mess? I say “screw them.” All they want is to be able to get into everybody’s iPhones. They’ve been trying this crap with Apple’s security systems for years.
Tell the government to take a long walk off a short pier. This is all BS. This current government is one of the most corrupt ever.
Limbaugh stated something startling today. The owner of the phone is not the terrorist but the local county government for whom the terrorist worked. Limbaugh stated that the county has the legal authority to authorize Apple to hack the phone. There is one even better. The county has access to software provided by Apple that would allow the county to get into the phone and give all the data to the FBI.
The big question is why the county does not use the software and get into the phone?
BetaNews? Yeah, it’s “beta” news, all right — “beta” as in “crude jury-rigged not-ready-for-prime-time junk that needs a lot of bugs fixed” version.
Sounds like the gun control issue and coverage as well.
Last week there was a classic FR discussion on this issue. It was very free ranging and both sides and other sides were put forth and discussed.
This thread is a hard hat and steel toe boot one, and not for timid souls.
Please spend some time going through this thread to get all sides.
This may be a hotter issue than the presidential
election for this year and years to follow.

I think this is a show.Apple gave it over and the good guys are waiting for the bad guys to make a move.
San Bernardino Massacre: FBI Raids Home of Shooter’s Brother
According to records, Farook enlisted in the Navy from 2003 to 2007, earning several medals during his service. The raid came one day after Apple’s CEO Tim Cook released a statement to iPhone customers, announcing their intent to fight a judicial order directing the tech giant to aid the FBI in hacking the terrorist’s phone.

Microsoft founder Gates backs FBI in encryption fight with Apple

The clash between Apple and FBI heats up
Microsoft founder Bill Gates has broken with other Silicon Valley giants by backing the FBI in its battle with Apple over hacking into a locked iPhone as part of the investigation into last December’s San Bernardino terror attack.
In an interview with the Financial Times published Tuesday, Gates said a court order requiring Apple to help the FBI access a work phone belonging to gunman Syed Farook was “ a specific case where the government is asking for access to information. They are not asking for some general thing, they are asking for a particular case.”
Gates went on to compare the FBI request to accessing bank and telephone records. However, he added that the government must be subject to rules about when it can access such information.
I hope that we have that debate so that the safeguards are built and so people do not opt, and this will be country by country. [to say] it is better that the government does not have access to any information. Gates said.
The San Bernardino County-issued iPhone 5C was used by Farook, who with his wife, Tashfeen Malik, killed 14 people at an office holiday party in December before they died in a gun battle with police. The government said they had been at least partly inspired by ISIS.
