So, in case you didn't know, Apple refuses to cooperate with the FBI in their efforts to decrypt an iPhone that belonged to one of the terrorists responsible for San Bernardino massacre, because of the possible risks involving the acquaintance of such technology (a mechanism to eliminate the data protection password in iDevices).
In my honest opinion, the FBI never gained the trust it thinks it deserves, and the possibilities of finding valuable intel on that phone are little to none. Potentially risking privacy is, in this case, worthless.
So #offtopic, which is your position in the subject.

Anybody who thinks this is "just" this one phone is painfully naive. The government's not something you can trust.

It is a very interesting situation. I believe we need to terminate acts of terrorism with extreme prejudice but to go and force a private company to made a product that could expose many more people and companies to threats doesn't seem like a good idea. If the government wants to make something they need to use their own resources, not force others to do their bidding.

Said this before and I'll say it again. Of course they should be allowed to. There obviously should be limits but if they see an ISIS Instagram account, they should be able to track it.

Trump just said everyone should boycott apple. That should tell you everything you need to know about who to support here.
-
I think privacy is important, but I really believe they should be able to access this particular phone only because of the situation. They could be linked to other possible terrorist in the country. Other than this case, the FBI needs to back the -blam!- off

Why don't they just hack into that one specific phone and then use that software on a case by case basis?
-
The only reason I'm against this is the potential of other people accessing the program. Any arguments "for lack of privacy" are either ignorant or show that the person has something to hide.

Wrong The FBI ordered Apple to create a new IOS system that includes an intentional backdoor into the IPhone systems This, is a major invasion of privacy as well as a massive potential risk

The one time I like Apple.

I guess I don't really know enough about technology to make a vote.
