Very gay.
Sounds like some county employee wants a federal job. What a suck up.
Good. Apple wants to protect terrorists. F Apple. Glad I never buy Apple products.

Apple is so protective of their loyal customer’s privacy that they are standing on principle, unless you’re Chinese, that is.
Gosh, I guess we should all side with the FBI and other Feds. They have our interests at heart. That must be why;
*They import every moslem they can grab from every war zone possible. Including Somali skinnies from blackhawk down, Iraqis, Pakis, Saudis by the planeload.
*They let the Boston bombers back into the country.
*They armed the Cartels to undermine the 2nd amendment.
*They promoted Major Hassan knowing he was emailing jihadi stuff with Anwar al alaki
*They protect opium production in Afghanistan
*They want to bring in 300,000 Syrians that are impossible to check
*They illegally engaged in domestic spying on a mass scale and lied to congress about it,
*They feel up your grandma at the airport,
*The FBI purged all of their training of anything remotely suggesting that terrorism is mostly islamic.
* they will never prosecute Hitlery.
* they train their agents that white, Christian, TEA, veteran, constitutionalists are the main terror danger.
Yes,,,, the federal motives are pure. /s
Go lick boots.
I guess you want the NSA in your stuff. . . that's the upshot of this.
Where do you draw the line?
This has nothing to do with terrorism.
The FBI could have been in this iPhone in the first week, but they SCREWED UP because they didn't ask for help before they had the San Bernardino County IT department CHANGE THE APPLIED PASSWORD for the iPhone after they had custody of it. Industrial Strength Stupid.
Now they are demanding Apple CREATE a backdoor into all iPhones so they can get into what they first claimed was just this ONE phone. . . but now they have sent OTHER court orders for now FIFTEEN MORE iPhones and iPads. . . and they have hundreds more they want to get into. They LIED by saying "It's only this one case!
The FBI and the Obama Department of Justice waited until they had a case with good OPTICS to try and force something they could not get through Congress to get LEGISLATION BY COURT ORDER!
Are you OK with that????
There is no law backing what this court order is demanding! WAKE UP!
“Apple is so protective of their loyal customer’s privacy that they are standing on principle, unless you’re Chinese, that is.”
Yes, whatever a company is forced by a totalitarian government to do, that’s what they should also expect in America. lol
Apple has not let the Chinese in either. There IS no backdoor.
Just curious how many reactions would be different if, instead of FBI, this was CIA.
The problem here is that we have a WAR ACT being treated like a CRIME CASE. Barack might even be doing this on purpose to blur the lines. I’m pretty sure that a more sane president would have the CIA on the case.
Not to mention, they have every ounce of metadata from that phone from the provider. They know who they called, what towers it pinged, etc.
This a security theater, not a sincere effort to attack a terror cell.
Read up. You've got it exactly backwards.
“would be different if, instead of FBI, this was CIA.”
Realistically, there is no difference. A fed is a fed. That’s why you saw FBI investigating the Blackwater shootout in Baghdad. That’s why NSA that has always been forbidden from domestic spying is now an internal spy agency. CIA, FBI, NSA,,, potato potahhto.
Um, some people would still see CIA as more plausibly connected to war affairs. We’re not talking about the extreme aficionado who can tell you what color socks GWB wore in what years.
Good. This is VERY slimy of Apple. hmm...slimy apple.
Anyway, Apple cares about their market share even if it means they aid and abet terrorism, at least that is how it looks to me. SHAME ON THEM!!
Every other business and/or citizen in these United States has to turn over info or access when the info, place or item in question was used in the commission of a crime. The only exception would be, I think, an attorney.
I find Apple’s position on this appalling. The paranoid masses who think this means the government will be spying on them...hello? If the government wants to spy on you, they have zillions of other ways to do it. We have laws on the books already that protect the law abiding individual if they need updating for technology, fine. Do it. But don’t hide behind “privacy” in aiding the collusion of worldwide terrorists. Save it! It’s BUNK! Apple cares about their profits.
Ask the Apple execs this: If someone was using an iphone to plot a murder of their entire family, would they support the release of the info to law enforcement? I think so.
Folks, if you're reading this, you know what needs to happen.
If you can, please support the forum at this time. Thank you.
So if their “loyal customer” is a terrorist....?
What if their “loyal customer” was stalking you personally and plotting to cut off your head?
What if their “loyal customer” were plotting to blow up Apple’s corporate headquarters?
What if their “loyal customer” were targeting a grade school full of children? Or YOUR children?
Is there any line you would draw on protecting privacy?
I have been watching videos of “The FBI Files” about many cases dating back from the 70’s to the 90’s. Without “violation of privacy” such as wiretaps and bugging and such, the mafia would still run New York and Chicago. The New Orleans Police (some of them) would still protect the local drug cartel, even murdering for them. Serial killers would still be on the loose. Same for serial rapists, kidnappers, ...guys who abducted a bank president, forced him to open the vault and then strapped him to a chair and dropped in in the river to drown.
On and on. The iphone is the new telephone in the world of communication. Access to those connections is vital to effective law enforcement.
“I have been watching videos of “The FBI Files” about many cases dating back from the 70’s to the 90’s.”
Ohhhhh,,, well why didn’t you just say so? I didn’t know I was dealing with an expert (snicker)
“Access to those connections is vital to effective law enforcement.”
Its refreshing, seeing your childlike trust in the Feds. They are just protecting us, right? Silly.
