Apple is one of the top companies in the world. Many people admire the company, buy their products; Apple products are used for companies and people nationwide. Now, why would the FBI begin to get involved with them?
San Bernardino shooter Syed Farook's iPhone was recovered by the FBI, but they could not access his phone because of the pass code. They requested that Apple makes a "backdoor" type of software to unlock and get into his phone. Well, what good would it be for the security of the customers of Apple if Apple does make this software? This is hazardous to their security and personal info of iPhone users because if this software were to get to the wrong people, terrorists or criminals specifically, anyone is at risk of their iPhone being hacked.

Yes, if they had this backdoor software available they would be able to access info from this criminal's phone. Frankly, it does not justify the promised security that Apple has provided to its customers. All it takes is one person to obtain that software and everyone could be in danger with their personal info, their credit or debit card info, and even their lives. The FBI said that they are only trying to get into this "one particular iPhone" but like what the General Counsel of Apple, Bruce Sewell, said, "It will weaken our safety and security, but it will not affect the terrorists."
This article connects to the book The Crucible for a couple reasons. In the book, the court officials go around questioning and judging the personal lives of the people in Salem. They tracked John Proctor's movements and barged into his house questioning him. The court officials would say that because John Proctor does not attend church on Sunday, he is suspicious to witchcraft. This type of judgement is unjust and does not give enough information (at all) about what he does. They basically just question him and other people in the book and do not consider their rights. If Apple were to make this backdoor software, the customers of the company that own iPhones would be at a risk of their rights being violated, just as the rights of the people in Salem are.
Good Job! I agree that the FBI should not be able to have access to the iphone users information because like you said what if someone finds a way to hack into the the system and everyone that has personal information in there phones gets their identity taken or bankrupt.
ReplyDeleteJames good job but I didn't understand how other people would hack the I phone

DeleteNice blog. I agree on how the FBI should not be allowed to access that phone because if they do that, they have the power to access many other people's phones. That violates our privacy because we store very important information on our phones. If hackers or other dangerous people learn how to get into phones with this alleged software, then our privacy is compromised. If hackers could get into our phones and acquire important information like our SSN, then we're in trouble.
