You can’t be serious. Who let the little terrorist fucker into the country? Who continues to cozy up the the terrorist state of KSA? And you want to blame Apple? Time to pick a side indeed. I’ll choose freedom and privacy and the US government can go fuck itself. |

I have no data/backups etc stored online other than pics. if I had any data I would store it in a password protected truecrypt hidden container within a password protected container. This container would created and placed on a laptop with the wificard and network port connector unsoldered and removed. Any data you really want safe is never hooked directly to a computer with internet access. However since I have nothing to hide, all my cat pics are on a thumbdrive in a folder named theNSAcanlickmyballs.  |

Quoted: He was a known terrorist at the time Apple was asked for help. He's not a US Citizen. This wasn't a blanket ask. .Gov gives exceptions and exemptions all the time. Why not a one time deal for this? meh. iPhone AQi? |

Or when is the privacy of a non-US citizen trumped by protecting the lives of American citizens in the near or distant future?

You either believe in freedom or you don't. disagree. they gov didn't need to have a back door. only apple needed to, and could have turned over the info without an ask. no US citizens impacted. terrorist in jail. get both. You don’t understand how math works. It does not work that way. |

| The NSA collects everything, every email, text message and phone call. We are told this helps us catch terrorists. The FBI could have asked the NSA for this information yet they didn’t. Because this was not a US person, they didn’t even need a FISA warrant to do it. Why did they have to ask apple for help? |

The .gov was asking apple to build tools that give the government a backdoor to iOS devices for that case, and all future cases. |

Apple had no way to offer help, other than giving the government copies of his iCloud data and in-app purchase history, which they did. If Apple were able to instantly circumvent their encryption, it wouldn't be encryption. |

Quoted: Just so I understand what the OP is saying, the government should have the power to tell a private company what to manufacture and how to manufacture it. Sounds like a few books I've read. Something about government seizing the means of production. Fail. You & everyone else that didn't actually process what I wrote. Never once did I say that the .gov should tell Apple anything. What I did say is that it would have been nice if Apple had provided the data of their own volition . |

If Apple were able to instantly circumvent their encryption, it wouldn't be encryption. Not arguing that. Full disclosure, if it wasn't already clear, I don't know shit about encryption. |

Rented a "smart house" last year....the TV talked to the fridge, the fridge talked to the lights, and the lights talked to the security system. My wife told a joke, I laughed, the wife laughed, the fridge laughed, I drew my CCW and shot the fridge. |

Do you even want safety bro? We all need to give up a little security so the FBI can provide it. It's the safety and security we deserve.

So -- since OP doesn't know anything about encryption (established) -- can someone who does please explain if this is correct, and if not, why not : 1) .gov assumed Apple had a backdoor, Apple claimed otherwise 2) lacking Apple's assistance, .gov spent a year and eventually hacked the phone. 3) did .gov crack Apple's encryption -or- did they just crack the one phone in question? 4) if we assume the former, now .gov has built themselves a tool that works on potentially any iPhone -- a tool they most likely would not have had otherwise -- |
