I have an idea. Apple Bills the government for doing their job. Perhaps 100B would be sufficient. Let’s see that should cover CIA, NSA, NRO...
After all the government has probably spent 100m on payroll for the people working the case so far. Seems to me they have better things to do...
Exactly why is it the manufacturers job to make its device less safe?
How about I tell you as a pickup truck driver that your vehicle is too safe on the road and it needs to have strategic points cut into the frame so it can be flattened like smaller cars? Oh you want to use your truck for your business and haul heavy loads and get stuff safely to and from the job site? Tough.
Trump is 100% wrong here.
It’s not for industry to make their products weaker it’s actually just the opposite. Apple has a commitment to lock their phones up tight.
You people have no idea of the bigger picture of what this represents to the broader world. The NSA, CIA exist for this reason. If they can’t get the data why do they exist? Newsflash... The NSA CAN. More so the NSA to break codes. It just takes resources.
What if every country, or should I say when every country comes calling to Apple with the same requests and dissidents, and others disappear or are murdered, then what you want to blame Apple? Well people WILL, and that will hurt their business, and product reputation, and will tarnish the brand.
Well screw that! The government has lost my personal data 3 times in the last 2 years, and had to send me oops letters. And we want them having more I’m.dge or capability, so that it can fall into Chinese hands?
These fools in our government had the knowledge and information on these people and they let it happen. They opted not to act on multiple occasion. What could they possibly have on the phone that isn’t already available via metadata? And call logs?
People just don’t understand what this means.
“People just don’t understand what this means.”
Clearly, SOME don’t.
The 4th amendment was written to catch or include in a search, people who are hiding something that can not be garnered by other than a search of their persons or effects. It was written that way intentionally.. Pedophiles with thousands of pictures. Cartels making distribution plans. Mass murdering terrorists plotting with other cells...stuff like that. It was to protect the citizen singular from an unreasonable or warrant less search and to protect citizens at large from those who planned bad thins. Farook and his pistol packing mama did some pretty bad things. No one complained when they ripped through their computers. This is no different. Just harder because of the lockout that some believe, myself included, should be done in such a way that only SPECIFIC phones can be opened. Such as this phone, for which there is a specific warrant for the informatio non this phone only...
