Lots of conflicting thoughts here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-ordered-to-hack-terrorists-phone#post-2466476 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 14:36:52 +0000 Umbreon 2466476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@psw27: Like the poster above said, it's more than just asking Apple to hack this one phone. The FBI has requested they develop software that will give the government "backdoor" access to iPhones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-ordered-to-hack-terrorists-phone#post-2466459 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 14:31:01 +0000 psw27 2466459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So many conflicting feelings. But a few things that confuse me/make me think: </p> <p>1. I think Apple already knows exactly how to do this. They didn't build an operating system that they cannot undo. </p> <p>2. I don't get why they didn't just quietly help the FBI do this, because again, I think they already know how to do it. </p> <p>3. Even if they don't know how to do it, someone else already does. </p> <p>4. We all deserve privacy and I don't want a hacker getting this technology and hacking my phone which has apple pay, my bank accounts, etc. </p> <p>5. F terrorists and I want to know what was on that jerk's phone!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-ordered-to-hack-terrorists-phone#post-2466435 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 14:21:59 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 2466435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From an interview I heard this week, it seems to be more than Apple just "hacking" into the terrorists' phones. As I understand it, what the court wants from Apple is essentially to design technology with backdoor access for the government's use. The current phone in question doesnt have this technology, so Apple would have to create it for the government.</p> <p>I think it's wrong and the court is wrong to demand this. If Apple was asked to simply give access to information on ONE particular phone of a PROVEN terrorist/criminal, I'd be more inclined to support the court, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-ordered-to-hack-terrorists-phone#post-2466425 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 14:19:13 +0000 Maysprout 2466425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think its good they put out a statement explaining their position. </p> <p>It seems like this has been an ongoing battle since 2014 when they put out ios8 and so could no longer access the complete contents of phones. They still hand over data they have access to, like what's on the cloud.<br /> <a href="http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2014/09/18/349561490/apple-ios-8-prevents-cooperation-with-police-unlocking-requests" rel="nofollow">http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2014/09/18/349561490/apple-ios-8-prevents-cooperation-with-police-unlocking-requests</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-ordered-to-hack-terrorists-phone#post-2466408 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 14:12:52 +0000 agold 2466408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't quite care about my privacy when there's a national security issue. But I understand to an extent Apple's position. I was hoping there would just be some hacker who could do it and of course there is one willing!</p> <p><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/john-mcafee-ill-decrypt-san-bernardino-phone-for-free-2016-2" rel="nofollow">http://www.businessinsider.com/john-mcafee-ill-decrypt-san-bernardino-phone-for-free-2016-2</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-ordered-to-hack-terrorists-phone#post-2466380 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 14:03:25 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2466380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: It was my understanding that is more than just unlocking the phone.

Given that this is an election year, I think the is even more important as the next administration could have a very different understanding of what best protects "national security." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-ordered-to-hack-terrorists-phone#post-2466289 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 13:22:36 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2466289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Annette: @lemondrop: I agree appealing to the public is very much a PR stunt, but nonetheless I don't doubt what Apple is saying. </p> <p>Apple could have complied quietly, in private, with the government. Instead, Apple is shedding light on the demands the government is requesting of organizations. I'm happy they're making a big stink about this. Cyber crimes ruin lives.</p> <p>Spoke to soon...Apple has helped the government. One example is a Meth Case.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/02/17/apple-unlocked-iphones-for-the-feds-70-times-before.html?via=desktop&#038;source=facebook" rel="nofollow">http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/02/17/apple-unlocked-iphones-for-the-feds-70-times-before.html?via=desktop&#038;source=facebook</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-ordered-to-hack-terrorists-phone#post-2466270 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 13:18:13 +0000 loveisstrange 2466270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the government has already proven themselves untrustworthy with technology and our private information.

If you ever checked a bank balance or credit card statement that info could be made available. Or if you store passwords on your phone, any account could be broken into. </p> <p>I agree with Apple. I work in Internet security and this just goes so beyond the pale. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-ordered-to-hack-terrorists-phone#post-2466185 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 12:43:11 +0000 Kimberlybee 2466185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it could be used to frame someone if it got in the wrong hands. So I voted no. There must be another way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-ordered-to-hack-terrorists-phone#post-2466170 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 12:40:23 +0000 catomd00 2466170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's ridiculous and I'm sorry but the attitude people have that if you have nothing to hide you shouldn't care is just not acceptable to me. Just because a person has nothing to hide doesn't mean they don't deserve a right to privacy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-ordered-to-hack-terrorists-phone#post-2466151 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 12:35:07 +0000 lemondrop 2466151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Annette: I agree, looks like a nice PR stunt to me... but I'm also a cynic and an Android user. Plus meh, I have nothing of any interest on my phone, so I'm not really concerned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-ordered-to-hack-terrorists-phone#post-2466069 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 12:10:00 +0000 Annette 2466069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I may be a bit of a cynic (and a die hard andriod user, haha) but I feel like that letter is a bit of a PR stunt. If apple can demonstrate how seriously they take their customers privacy they looks really good on them (and its working brilliantly). Not saying the government didnt ask them for backdoor access but at this point I'm pretty sure every tech company has been asked to do the same by now. Apple is just the biggest player and one of the few who can openly oppose the government. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-ordered-to-hack-terrorists-phone#post-2465863 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 10:54:47 +0000 josina 2465863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so torn on this I didn't vote. On one hand... it's a terrorist's phone, so yes, of course unlock it. And if the FBI was able to use it on anyone's phones, fine, I have nothing to hide.</p> <p>My worry is that it would get into the wrong hands allowing hackers to get into my phone and access passwords, account information, etc. If that's at all possible, than no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-ordered-to-hack-terrorists-phone#post-2465861 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 10:53:16 +0000 snowjewelz 2465861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, I really love that letter... Makes it very easy to understand. And after reading it, I vote no as well. I literally have chills thinking about the implications this would have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-ordered-to-hack-terrorists-phone#post-2465858 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 10:52:25 +0000 blackbird 2465858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On the one hand....eek, invasive. And where's the line? Because I'm cool with it being "terrorism". But not other crimes. But on the other hand, fuck the terrorists. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-ordered-to-hack-terrorists-phone#post-2465832 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 10:46:47 +0000 lovehoneybee 2465832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-ordered-to-hack-terrorists-phone#post-2465827 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 10:45:37 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2465827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont think Apple is exempt but what they are asking them to do is so extreme and has so many impacts to everyone else and sets quite a legal precedent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-ordered-to-hack-terrorists-phone#post-2465818 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 10:41:48 +0000 mediagirl 2465818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope.
