Government vs. Apple
U.S. government, Apple take encryption case to court of public opinion
Apple vs. USA — what happened?
The government want’s Apple to make a code that can let them getting into a late terrorists phone from the San Bernardino shooting. Apple doesn’t want to do that because of the possibilities of it being used again and other people being able to hack into other Apple products. While the government has force on Apple and will most likely win the case, it shocks me that they are not handling this better. If they kept it on the down low and didn’t bother all of the media, Apple could have made the back door and all the cyber hackers would have never known. Apple has also "recommending four different ways to recover the data without building the backdoor" ( http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2016/02/20/apple-vs-usa-what-happened/80669574/ ). Apple has been trying to find another solution that doesn't involve a back door. But now that everyone and their mother seems to know about it, the risk of people hacking into Apple devices is very high. While in my opinion I do not think that the government should force Apple to make a back door, I do believe that they will make Apple. With the court order on it their most likely isn’t a way where Apple can get out of it. Apple making a back door is a serious invasion of privacy, they designed it for only the owner to get on it (http://www.apple.com/customer-letter/). In the end Apple will not get there way. We can only hope that the backdoor will not get into the wrong hands.
I wonder how will Apple respond if they are forced to make the back door? Do you think that the people of the jury will be bias when they are brought in to judge?
