re: APPL gives access To Stone’s Account, After Refusing To Violate Privacy of San Bernardi

The FBI wanted access to the actual phone in San Bernardino that is different from an iCloud account. They want access to Stones iCloud not his phone this is not the same thing.

Not quite. Mueller got access to Stone's iCloud AND his devices.

While not the exact same thing as the San Bernardino orange, it is not quite the innocent little apple you guys are trying to portray.

Apple was just following orders. Mueller is still giving Goebbels a run for his money. That phaggot has yet to issue any warrants for Podesta who committed the same crimes as Manafort, or Clapper, Brennan, Clinton, McCabe, or Strozk who all committed the same crimes that Stone is charged with.

It would be huge news if Apple were breaking encryption given Tim Cook's very public position that data privacy is sacrosanct. This is just another stupid gatewaypundit stupid story for the stupid.

Reading through the privacy statement from Apple and it's cloud, they can, if asked by authorities, give out personal information. It does not state any where that it is their policy to allow full access to ones account. I am trying to be objective through my hate......

The issue was different with bernardi. That was his iPhone which theoretically could have led to other iPhones being de-encrypted.

Not remotely believable on its surface.

Cook and Apple make a distinction between their handling of private data vs Google and Facebook's handling of data. It is, and has been, a major AAPL focus. Giving up the Stone or Manafort accounts, as GP asserts, would undermine Apple; and it would undermine Apple stock.

Big money would be involved. That bit of AAPL news would run lede on every financial publication and network headline out there. Instead, it seems GP has an "exclusive". You be your own judge of GP's legitimacy here.

If Mueller has access to Stone's iCloud account, it's because either (a) Stone gave it to him, or (b) Stone was careless about password security. Ironically, considering AAPL's stringent password requirements, many folks write their password down somewhere to remember it. The account is only as secure as that password's accessibility.

I get the distinction. I'm not sure the safety deposit box analogy applies (completely anyway--but i get it). Although I'm sure, as usual, the terms and conditions allow them to do whatever they want with cloud-stored information.

i admit i didn't fully read the latest article--you'd think apple would at least ask the gov to issue a subpoena. That's what the banks i've repped always did (unless it was a garnishment, then it's a summons).

Wonder what their great defender, Rush Limbaugh, will have to say about this. J/K, he won't say anything.
