Made in China phone ping.

(I know, lots of other phones are too)

This sounds like so much dishonest kabuki theater on the part of a government that can dissolve the cases off of chips and microprobe them.

FBI guy calls Apple guys names for adding strong encryption to iPhones, which was originally requested by the US government in the first place! Calls Apple people “Jerks” and " Evil Geniuses" for making devices the government can’t hack into. — PING!

Given a legal, public court order or warrant, Apple should make the device accessible, same with other manufacturers. Doing business in the US is a privilege, not a right. With it comes some responsibility and accountability.

Good. Privacy is all but lost in this digital age. It’s nice to see some things are somewhat secure. Not rooting for the bad guys; just Americans in general.

In the old days a letter could be written, sent without being read by a 3rd party, received by the person intended, then burned so no one else could ever read it. That was privacy pre-digital age.

[Nifster]

Ahhhh gee too bad. So Apple are jerks and evil because they make it hard for the deep state to spy on people.

[DoughtyOne]

FBI hacker, we have a lot of private information on those phones. Pull your head out.

There’s a reason for the security. Duh!

The phone companies aren’t mainly concerned with your needs.

It’s our needs that count. We’re paying the bills idiot stick.

When your part of the group paying billions for phones with security, we’ll listen to you.

The Federal was never meant to be more powerful than the states, only more powerful than foreign enemies. So the FBI can suck it. All they are good for is checking who uses the right pronoun in hate crime investigation

[raybbr]

The main reason I think Apple are jerks is because I can’t simply drag and drop music into an iPhone.

Flatley complained that Apple recently made password guesses slower, changing the hash iterations from 10,000 to 10,000,000.

So just by extending the lock screen password from 4 characters to 6 characters is a crime against the country?

He's nuts, and I don't want to spend the time to read more of this Vice article.

Wait until Flatley finds out that serious folks are using 2048 bit encryption. Try to brute force that password, at least in the next few years.

And then technology will march on.

harder to catch criminals and terrorists

The FIB is full of criminals, so they need to pull the plank out of their own eye.

Hey FIB, your track record on catching crooks and terrorists before the fact is poor anyway. I’ll take my chances. I prefer liberty over your polticized spying. Sod off.

And, if the gubmint wasn’t so keen to collect so much on all the citizens, it never would have come about.....

Call a “Waaaaaambulance” for the poor FBI!
Not sorry for them:
