Today’s
post is about an article titled FBI vs. Apple over unlocking the phone gets
nastier. The United States Government trying to weasel away another one of our
universal rights right before our eyes. Currently the US government is using the FBI
to silently take away our right to privacy as citizens. They are using “The San
Bernardino Terror Attack” for leverage. This author’s intended audience is
everyone. He is not trying to sway people either way. He is just trying to
inform everyone on what really is going on right now in front of us. In order
to understand this let me talk about the backstory. I have included a link from
the LA Times which details step by step of what authorities have been able to
piece together so far. I also have
included their picture.
On
Dec 2, 2015 a man named Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik grabbed assault
weapons and shot up a holiday party. The end result was that they killed 14
people and wounded 22. Now this sets up the FBI vs Apple confrontation.
The
FBI wants Apple to open the locked cell phone of both individuals. The US
government is trying to make Apple look like the bad guys. They are trying to
protect their product and their customer’s privacy. As a result the government has
a started a media bombing of the company. The government wrote a 35 page filing
against the tech giant. Apple said they would help them in regards to these two
phones BUT THE SECRET IS THE
GOVERNMENT WANTS THIS ABILITY FOR ALL PHONES.
Apple president Tim Cook called the government idea extremely overreaching.Apple’s
counterclaim is that the US is trying to not only break multiple laws on
personal privacy, private property, intellectual party, etc. Apple is trying desperately
to fight what could be the beginning of a devastating precedent. Imagine local,
state, and federal powers having the ability at any given time to hack your
cell phone. The government has been doing it for years but now companies have
increased their encryption and are literally light years ahead of the US
Government and their technology.
I definitely agree with this article.
It is far too dangerous to this willingly just because someone asks you or
tells you to do it. Whatever happened to civil liberties protections? They were
all striped overnight by September, 11, 2001 terrorist attack. They were all
wrapped up and locked up under the Patriot Act Law. I have included a link to
explain what happened to rights and how fast they were gone. The government today
doesn’t follow the Declaration of Independence. It does not follow the U.S.
Constitution. The US Government has become a Rogue Agent.
Everything
that has happened since September 11 has been used to slowly weaken the powers
that we have as voting individuals. People are not paying attention. This is
the NRA’s response to his Secret Executive order that is trying to take away
guns from all Americans. President Obama did this on the backs of the Sandy
Hook Victims and their parents.
The
writer of this FBI VS APPLE article name is Brain Bennett. He has robust resume
of places that he has worked and things that he has done. I ran his name
through multiple media outlets and am writing his unbiased and factual.
I
want everyone to read this article and think to themselves what happens if this
precedent is set. Once this door is open it is going to be virtually impossible
to reverse. I want people to think about how much technology is used daily by
just themselves as individuals. Now if you sit down and think about the consequences
of what happens when all of your technology devices become taken over by
someone else remotely? Think about that when you are going to send your significant
other a nice sexy selfie.
