The Pew Research Center, which conducted the survey over the weekend, found substantial support for the Justice Department in its roiling fight with Apple over the software designed to protect consumers’ personal data.
Fifty-one percent of respondents said Apple should take steps to “unlock” the device, which the company could do by disabling a feature that wipes the phone’s storage after 10 incorrect passcode attempts. Meanwhile, just 38 percent said Apple should keep that protection in place, and 11 percent said they weren’t sure what to think.
Oh dear! I totally missed this! Well there you have it... 51% of Americans believe Apple should help! Well it’s settled!
In other news I’m going to pay 90% taxes on what I make because I make a certain threshold of money where 51% say I should be taxed more! They must be right!
After all we live in a democracy right? Let’s follow what the heard thinks!
I still believe that the 13th Amendment can apply! The government can have and pay for,the best security experts in the world and the best intelligence assets in the world, but they shouldn’t be able to force someone to circumvent the product or weaken the product they create in any way!
