Well it looks like they've decided the dumbing-down is complete.
The only next step I can see is for the Director of the FBI to go on 60 Minutes and just flat-out declare: "because I say so, you got a problem with that"?
Yes, he goes to jail for contempt of court, which is a helluva lot better than going to prison for child porn.
Dear Mr. FBI director...
Get a warrant.
You may be right. The government lies to us constantly, as a matter of course. They lie when they could just as easily tell the truth, without damaging national security. Lying is what they do best.
So does a door. What’s your point?
That’s the problem as the feds see it. They don’t want to have to get a court order. They want unfettered access to the raw data to look for patterns. If it matches a pattern then then they engage humans. Sure they can break encrypted messages but it eats up time and resources.
“A Policeman’s Job is Only Easy in a Police State.”
Martha deserved to go to prison; if for nothing else being so stupid and arrogant as to not lawyer up when the Feds came knocking.
I just can’t trust mine anymore. I’ve got it chained up in the back yard.
So they make a special version called the iPed? Is there something special I’ll about it? Imagine that, it only protects pedophiles and nobody else.
Of course if the Russians and the ChiComs all used iPhones we would really be screwed. /sarc
The FBI needs to comply with the 4th Amendment and secure a court-issued search warrant from a non-activist judge, the warrant ordering the suspect to unlock the iPhone so that the FBI can search the iPhone for suspected material. But if the suspect refuses to comply with the warrant then the suspect will be in contempt of court and the feds can throw the suspect in jail.
FreeRepublic’s rules regarding salty language prevents me from fully expressing my views of this glorified dog-catcher.
But that same encryption could be used to protect abused women looking for safety or even women wanting abortions. (there, that should get the left spinning their heads in cognitive dissonance.)
This same guy said, a few days ago, that Americans were right to be suspicious of government...
...and then goes on to show exactly why.
What about conversations that don't take place digitally?
Aren't they "beyond the law?"
Maybe we should make it illegal for two people to have a conversation that is not transmitted through a digital device?
It's obviously a very dangerous situation to have any conversations that cannot be monitored by the big-government/big-corporate crony-fascist complex.
I’m surprised the usual jackboot lickers haven’t shown up yet with their “If you have nothing to hide you don’t have anything to worry about”.
It wasn't Jennifer's phone or iCloud account that got hacked, it was her too-easy-too-guess password that caused her problem.
So what was her password?
N-U-D-E-P-I-C-S
M-Y-P-O-R-N
I-M-E-A-S-Y
S-T-U-P-I-D-H-O
T-W-E-R-K-1-2-3
??
True, bit the timing couldn't have been better. First we had the massive leak of celebrity nude photos initially blamed on poor iCloud security. Turned out to not be the case. Didn't matter, damage was done. We had an outraged public demanding steps be taken and a mere two or three weeks later, we have Apple and Google announcing their resolve to leave security entirely in the hands of consumers.
