Hi folks. On December 2, 2015, a man called Rizwan Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik, killed 14 people and wounded 22 in San Bernardino, California. They were linked to many Islamist groups, predominantly ISIS. The couple was later killed in the police shootout. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is involved. They have the Iphones of the couple, but the Iphones are encrypted. A federal judge in Los Angeles ordered Apple to unlock the encryption, but Apple CEO, Tim Cook refused. He says that if he does it, then there is no limit to what else the Government can ask for. This is a political, technical and legal battle. Yesterday, many other tech companies like Google, Yahoo, Amazon sided with Apple. Civil Liberty organizations are also siding with Apple. They say that the US constitution prevents the Government from infringing on people’s right to privacy. In fact back in the 1990’s when cell phones and other devices were emerging into the mainstream, the Government wanted tech companies to install a chip that can be used for surveillance purposes. But the companies refused. Although, I know that companies do collect certain information. For example Amazon looks at what you have searched for and makes suggestions of complementary products. Same with Facebook and Google. But the data is not shared with the Government. So what options does Apple have. Well they can tie this up for years to come. They can appeal to the appellate court and go all the way up to the US Supreme Court. So my question to you is where do you stand on this? Please let me know.
