Apple not unlocking phones back in the news

Interesting case in the the debate between civil liberties and public safety. Does Apple have a duty to unlock a phone for the government (assuming it actually could)?

I think Apple should let the government figure out the code or get through the encryption. I think law enforcement has the ability to do it but does not want to make that too obvious.

There is also more to this story than the FBI is sharing. There is a second iPhone that they can’t get into.

The FBI only notified us on January 6th that they needed additional assistance a month after the attack occurred. Only then did we learn about the existence of a second iPhone associated with the investigation and the FBI's inability to access either iPhone. It was not until January 8th that we received a subpoena for information related to the second iPhone,which we responded to within hours.Early outreach is critical to accessing information and finding additional options

It’s 2020 now. Do any of you honestly trust the FBI more than the average “journalist” or billboard lawyer?

Don't trust the narrative. There are a million reasons that the FBI would want you to believe, that your phones are secure.

You don't want the fish to realize, that a hook, is inside that big chunk of rabbit liver.

I lean towards yay Apple here with no reservations that the government doesn’t already have what they want as far as electronic surveillance. I don’t know, maybe this is a way the government is protecting its surveillance capabilities?

Such a sad state of 4th amendment violations these days that maybe Apple puts on the “show” for the public.

Reminder: Google was ordered to turn over all of Jussie Smollets phone and email records and they complied.

Apple should be ashamed of themselves.

Apple so far was not ordered to do so, it was just a request.

This

would add:
... "Apple" and the FBI...

You would think with all the resources at their disposal, that our government could get into a freakin telephone within minutes.

Of course they can't...apple phones are totally safe for whatever you want to do or say.... The FBI, told you it is true.

I don't see any legit reason why apple should not open the phone or assist in opening the phone. To claim there is no backdoor like they said, is a total lie

This is where the government reaps what they sow. Absent any other logic, absolutely, Apple should unlock the phone of a terrorist. But only liberals live in the world absent of logic. The government has proven time after time that after they get their wedge in the door, they soon after blow the door off the hinges.

Subpeonas aren't meant to be able to make a person perform an action other than hand over records. Apple is right to refuse these requests. I think there must be something else they're playing at with all of this.

You know, I turned my ad blocker off on this laptop.
A few days ago, I posted about having some back problems, I am suddenly being hit by all kinds of back relief ads.
Even if you have the ad blocker, you are always being monitored, you just don't realize how much.
