Cruz also says Apple needs to comply.
I hadn’t seen that. If so, very disappointing.
Why even bother to vote. These are the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked.
i believe cruz is in favor of apple decoding and sending the information to the fbi...
not allowing the fbi the unfettered access code.
that is what i have heard.
I was very disappointed when I read that, though not terribly surprised; he spent a good chunk of his legal career as Texas' solicitor general, which would have put him on the prosecution's side in cases like this.
Apple is in the right here. And, I just noticed that my phone is due for an upgrade - maybe I'll buy a new iphone this weekend, to do my part to counteract this misguided boycott.
Then Cruz is wrong on this issue too. I really hate to see the only real conservative siding with the government on this. Haven’t we already lost enough of our privacy rights via this administration? Good grief.
Cruz On San Bernardino iPhone Question: “Of Course We Should Unlock Their Phonesâ€
Buzzfeed a day ago
A judge ordered Apple on Tuesday to turn over software that would allow the FBI to get around the security features of the cell phone belonging to Syed Farook. And there is probably very good reason for people not trust the government. But we are going to have to get over that because right now we are faced with tremendous threats, and individuals, radical jihadists, that want to destroy us. And we are going to have to weigh these things, one against the other.

I think that both Trump and Cruz believe that the "unlocking" solution can be applied to just this one phone. Cruz has said as much. Trump would probably say as much after being briefed by his "this is conservative and that isn't" team.
From what I've read, any solution would be applicable to all Apple phones, and the government, or anyone else, could apply the same solution, disable the data eradication functionality, and work as long as they like on cracking the password on any Apple phone.
I really don't think that Apple is trying to protect the terrorists. If there was a solution that would allow access to JUST THIS ONE PHONE, they'd provide it.
Cruz didn’t call for a boycott against Apple over this, though..
Care to provide a link.
