DOJ ´may force Apple to turn over entire operating system source code´

With the brain trust they have at DOJ they still won't be able to read it.

I would feel a bit better about Apple had they not bend over and assumed the position for the Chinese.

I suspect that’s what Apple wanted in the first place. Allows them to maintain credibility with their customer base and it ‘puts the problem behind them’ (a little GOPe lingo).

DOJ can’t do squat. Let’s see what the courts say

So, there was this cop who decided to shoot a dog chained in someone’s yard because it MIGHT interfere with him doing what ever.
A woman protected her pet from him and got arrested for it, naturally.
He husband filmed the whole thing with his iPhone.
When he arrested the woman, the cop also seized the iPhone.
The iPhone was LOCKED and the cops couldn’t access it.
The video was key evidence in the trial and the woman was acquitted.
Wanna bet the video would not have been on the phone if the cops had a ‘back door’ into it?

Go Apple and screw the courts and the cops.

It is perfectly possible to have uncrackable encryption with open-source code. What will they do then?

If they do that, then the entire Apple platform will be compromised like PC. This is because our government has FOREIGN OPERATIVES that will get the source code too. It's a two way streak folks. On top of that it VIOLATES the 4th Amendment of the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights makes it VERY CLEAR. Just because there was not an iPhone at the time does not mean the government gets a green light and can violate this.

Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

The DOJ wants Apple’s OS source code. DOJ wants to prosecute Climate Change Deniers. DOJ is selectively charging and prosecuting ranchers in order to seize private land in addition to canceling long held lease land. DOJ gives indications (Lynch) that neither Hillary nor her minions will be prosecuted for the most egregious violations of communications security in American history.

I think I’m seeing a trend here. Actually I started seeing a trend when Holder refused to even consider charging the NBPP for blocking entry to whites at polling places during the 2008 elections.

If I were Apple, I would move 100% of my operation out of this country and only offer internet sales to the U.S market.

This administration entrusted the data on security clearances to Russian and Chinese data firms. So everything about those with clearances is in foreign hands. How soon will the IOS source code be cloned and used against Apple? Probably in less time than a round of golf.

This is yet another example of the the GOPe caving. There was no reason to rubber-stamp Barry’s pick for AG, especially after Holder was found in contempt.
