at least apple came out with the information

Technology is an asset for terrorists as much as it is for everyone else. While I'm reluctant about it, I'd rather sacrifice some of my privacy than put the government a step behind terrorists/other security matters.

Since you're not doing anything wrong and don't care if your data is being kept, you can feel free to send me your email and banking passwords. I mean, you're not one of the bad guys, are you? What do you have to fear?

If they want my information they aren't going to ask for it and I wouldn't give it to anyone who did. I'm assuming the security with this would be latest and greatest and if it wasn't then I take back what I said.

So you're only okay with it when your fourth amendment right is being violated?

I am completely against this and find it incredibly privacy breaching, I'm very glad Apple isn't going to suck up to the FBI, this is stupid.

This is a letter to the Customers of apple products regarding the FBI's attempt to gain backdoor capabilities into everyone's cellular devices. I for one think this is insane.

Let me know what you think as well as here is the letter written by apple on there website: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

This is misinformation. They are trying to get access to ONE phone. Not everyone's phone. The backdoor access would only effect one phone, and that is the iPhone 5c that one of the shooters owned. The iPhone 5c is the only model that this backdoor would work for because of a security flaw that they have.

Even if this backdoor access was created, you would have to have the phone in your passion in order to even install the changed OS on to it. This isn't as much of a big deal that people are making this into.

The point is, just because it is for national security doesn't mean someone wont abuse it.

I don't know about you, but i'm getting a "1984" feeling from the whole government wanting a backdoor in everything.

Once you allow one phone's encryption to be broken by a backdoor, you have fundamentally destroyed the reason why encryption was created in the first place.

This really underlies the US government's tendency to be over invasive in the lives of American people. It's the simple principle of the matter. The fact that they want to virtually have all the information of all iPhones at any given point is ridiculous. That being said, it's the FBI. They will get what they want and there is little to nothing Apple can do about it.

How? The person is a criminal. One you commit a crime like that you lose all of your rights. The FBI has probable cause to search the phone.

Plus to those using the term "Backdoor", they do not wan a back door. They want access to this specific device. The method would only effect iPhone 5c devices, because all of the new devices use newer processors that have taken steps to prevent this type of access.

In order for this to have effects on other iPhones, they would need a signing key that ONLY apple has access to. Even then it would only effect older devices (5c and below).

Nope no way this sounds like some George Orwell 1984 stuff right here no thank you.

According to the customer letter, they want a back door that can have potential to access to ALL iPhones, starting with this one. Apple may have the signing key, but that could go in the wrong hands, which it probably will considering the FBI can get a court order for anything they want.

Specifically, the FBI wants us to make a new version of the iPhone operating system, circumventing several important security features, and install it on an iPhone recovered during the investigation. In the wrong hands, this software which does not exist today would have the potential to unlock any iPhone in someones physical possession.
