Every time I see this topic come up, I shake my head in awe thinking about how many people want to protect these terrorists that committed this horrible crime. If I knew how to, I would have done it even before anyone had to ask.
No one's protecting the terrorists, the terrorist we took this phone from is dead... If we are protecting them, we did a pretty bad job...
You are over valuating yourself. You are a nobody. No one cares about your crappy life, your family videos, or your photos of underage teens. You would not be looked at even if you tried. This goes for 99.999% of people. You all have to get over yourselves. However, go kill people, then you can know that your encryption was worth it.
No one is "over valuating" themselves here, nobody likes knowing that their phone isn't secure. I think I speak on behalf of most people here when I say, I don't care how valuable I am, I don't care how unimportant you think I am. I still don't want my phone to have a back door that anyone can use to see all my stuff. Period.
Do you also object their privacy being violated when it comes to authority checking their home, their mail, their associates, their firearm purchase history, their passports, their travel history, etc etc?
Yeah again, this is a single person this would affect, the terrorist, they're not going to search everyone's house at the exact same time, they're also not storing the key to everyone's car. This is very different from creating a back door to one of the worlds most sold mobile phones.
As Edward Snowden and a few others have reported, the FBI could break into this phone if need be, they're not even trying though, they want this back door into all iOS devices and that is simply wrong...
I dont care if they unlock the phone or not.
It's not about 1 phone, it's about all iOS devices...
sure the fbi can spy on almost every phone then but if you dont have nothing to hide why should you be afraid?
It's not about being afraid, I'm certainly not afraid, my life is basically an open book by using facebook anyway. Me and many others still don't want a back door into our phones.
I rather have the fbi looking thru my phone,traveldata etc instead of being blown to bits by some suicidebomber or a terrorist attack.
Yeah, I don't think the FBI looking through your Travel Data and your Phone is a very productive use of their time or will help find the terrorists that are going to blow you to bits...
I live in belgium near brussels and with the terrorist constantly popping up here it can only help if authorities can look into their encrypted phones.
I live in London, we've also had over the years buses explode, bomb threats in the underground etc...
Giving away the little privacy you had on your phone is not going to help find these terrorists before it's to late, it just isn't.
Then you can think about what else this could entail. Imagine a government that can listen in and read everything you do on your phone, they would know who you're voting for, what you are for or against, they can use this information to manipulate you and find ways around. That is simply not good news for anyone...
