Backdoor Letter
Both sides are right. You should protect your information,
but you should also give it to the government. If there is a crime, and a phone
has the information on it, but you don’t know the pass code, you want to have as
many tries as you need. Michael Hayden, a former CIA director would have agreed
with the government if he was still a part of the CIA, because it would have
made his work easier. He said, “In this specific case, I’m trending toward the
government, but I’ve got to tell you in general I oppose the government’s
effort” (USA Today). If you have personal information on your phone, you
don’t want people to get to it, so you want to have a limited amount of tries.
You want to also have an unlimited amount of tries, just in case you forgot
your pass code and you don’t want anyone to erase the information if you try too
many times.
I agree with Apple, because even though the government wants a backdoor, I don’t want someone to get into my phone and mess with it. I want to keep my private information private. “If the government can use the All Writs Act to make it easier to unlock your iPhone, it would have the power to reach into anyone’s device to capture their data” Customer Letter From Apple. With a backdoor, anyone could get into a phone and mess with it. That is why I don’t want a backdoor in the Apple phones.

If the US government can tell Apple what to do, why can’t
other governments like Russian, or Chinese?
What if the government will start asking Android and other
companies to create a backdoor?
I think other governments such as the Russia or Chinese can ask Apple for any of their problems, after all Apple is a popular global company. "Apple has never worked with any government agency from any country to create a “backdoor” in any of our products or services. We have also never allowed any government access to our servers. And we never will." (http://www.apple.com/privacy/government-information-requests/) But no other international government has yet asked Apple for help. Also if the government asks Android and other companies to build and access door it will be up to the company to make the decision.
ReplyDelete1. I Think that only the US government are the only ones who should tell Apple what to do because the San Bernardino case took place here in the US.Russia and China never contributed to make or help Apple.
ReplyDelete2. Android and the other companies would have to figure out how to deal with the problem themselves and as said in the article the the would have to work hard, "worked hard to support the government’s efforts to solve this horrible crime" http://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-encryption-victims-exclusive-idUSKCN0VV00B.
I think that other governments can tell them what to do. There is no law that prevents them from doing so. Plus they are a multinational company, so they are at the whim of multiple governments, there is no way to stop them."There are two things that make this order very dangerous, Opsahl said. The first is the question it raises about who can make this type of demand. If the U.S. government can force Apple to do this, why can't the Chinese or Russian governments?" (Customer Letter From Apple)
ReplyDeleteI think that other governments would be able to, because the laws are different in those countries. But in America, we have rights that gives apple the choice to give them the choice.
