Apple vs FBI


I get that the FBI just wants to prove that the shooter is guilty and wants to give the victim’s families closure but what they are asking Apple to do is very risky. If I was Tim Cook I would respond to the government's outrageous court order by saying "for the sake of privacy I will have to say no to creating a back door on my Apple products". "I think it is not right to allow the FBI access to everyone's IPhone information because there is always something on everyone's IPhone they want to keep private"(me as Cook). The reason why I would respond like that to the government is because I would definitely not like it if they knew everything about everyone just from the information on their IPhone. In my opinion it just gives the government too much power. Unfortunately, the government will probably get what they want which will impact an IPhone user's human rights because their "security of person" (UN Universal of Rights, article 3) will be compromised. But at least everyone's right to live safe will increase because criminals will not be able to use encrypted IPhones anymore. But if Apple gets their way then IPhone user's right to privacy is saved because the "back door" will not be made but our right to live safely is compromised due to criminals still having an encrypted IPhone to use. Finally in my opinion I think that what ever side wins a right will be compromised.

  1. I am on Apple's side as well. Everyone should be able to keep their information on their phones secure and private. If the FBI gets a hold of everyone's information, it could violate everyone's rights to privacy and security. Apple is making a good choice about not allowing the FBI to have access to the information.
