-Apple vs. FBI: San Bernardino Shooting-

[DataProxy]

Assuming most of you on here use your phone at least once a day, should Apple create the backdoor to so the FBI can access crucial information on CIA, or should Apple abstain for the safety of its consumers and its profits?

Off topic but please stop with the -titles like this-

It's getting cancerous and annoying

OT: Yes, FBI needs data

[Buisness Mann]

as long as the backdoor is not for android 4.0 - 6.1 we are all fine

Androids are open source.
Apples are not.

You realize that Android is not 100% secure right? No OS is 100% virus/malware free.

Whenever I see news articles relating to this, I repeat to myself "Just hack the damn phone for the FBI and get on with it. No need to make a big stink about the situation involving backdoors or privacy," but I think it's going to be a bit more complicated than that, what with Apple's security and all.

apple bending a knee to the fbi would mean the loss of technologic privacy

fbi wants the ability to access any device at any time, and apple isn't having any of it

The information in the phone is encrypted. Modern encryption systems are incapable of being broken, unless someone deliberately designs the cryptosystem such that every single person's encrypted info can be decrypted through a backdoor.

[The Lawyer]

Apple is advertising maximum security. Why would Apple want to give the FBI a system to crack any phone they want? Can the FBI really be trusted to use it well?

Apple can't crack the phone. They made it where it's impossible for even governments to crack it.

People think that Apple won't, Apple just can't.

The reason they're making a big stink about it is because once they give into the FBI's demands once, they're forgeted for life. Nobodys iphone will ever be secure, even with encryption, and that's something that apple doesn't want. Apple is going to fight this until the bitter end, and I honestly am really really happy with that decision, it's nice to see someone big really standing up for privacy rights.

And the FBI hasn't exactly had the best track record, either, especially since one of their ex-agents leaked phone numbers of different individuals, just so that the FBI can keep tabs on who calls who, who texts what, etc. 

They're supposed to be giving us more security instead of asking for less.

why did you put the title in --s

[Rally]

I have a limited understanding of the situation but as far as I'm aware, the FBI is asking Apple for firmware to gain access to all iPhones, right?

I don't understand. Why doesn't the FBI work with Apple to unlock this singular device without compromising security for all iPhones? Why do they need firmware to break any iPhone at any time? I'm sure Apple would be happy to help with the prosecution of a terrorist in this single case without compromising the security of their technology.
