    1. Cook claims that the government had asked Apple to create a new operating system with decreased security, essentially creating a "backdoor" that allows the government to easily access data in personal devices.
    2. The San Bernardino shooting precipitated this action.
    3. Cook says it is impossible to hack only one phone because once the hacking technique is known, it can be used repeatedly (all iPhones do operate the same way), essentially creating a key for not just one phone but a key for all phones.
    4. The FBI is using the All Writs Act of 1789 to cover this request.
    5. The effects he believes will result from this are phones would be hacked much more by criminals as well as the government, the government would have access to all your personal information, and the government would be able to track anyone anytime and access photos, thus, taking the privacy of Americans away and putting them in harm's way. He also believes that it will undermine the freedoms and liberty that the government is to protect.
    6. No, Apple must not comply with this request. It would take away some of the freedoms this country was created for, and it would make Americans more susceptible to the evil things that occur through technology, such as hackers and cybercriminals. Americans have the right to privacy and we should be able to keep that wonderful thing. Furthermore, even if they did hack only the suspicious people, there would be an extremely dangerous and profound means to hacking available that would eventually cause massive chaos. Besides, we must not end up like the people of 1984.

  2. 1. The FBI has asked Apple to create a "back door" to see people's personal information.
    2. The San Bernardino terrorist attack.
    3. Once the software is created, anyone who knows the "key" can bypass any encryptions.
    4. The All Writs Act of 1789.
    5. By creating an essential "master key", the government would be able to bypass all iPhone's security and see all its information.
    6. No; the hack will cause more problems than it will solve. Employing an act long forgotten since its creation just after the American Revolution and when Loyalists were still a threat, should not apply to a case today. Our entire country is not at stake. We are no longer thirteen small colonies along the East coast. We are 50 states spread across the North American continent, an island in the Pacific and a vast piece of land near Russia. There are other ways to catch a terrorist than destroying every ounce of privacy we have as American citizens. This case will define "free" in this "land of the free".

    1. Something they simply do not have, and something they consider too dangerous to create (a backdoor to the iPhone).
    2. The San Bernardino Case
    3. Once created, the technique could be used over and over again, on any number of devices. Anyone could decrypt the iPhone once they have the knowledge.
    4. The All Writs Act of 1789
    5. The government could reach anyone’s device to capture their data. The government could extend this breach of privacy and demand that Apple build surveillance software to intercept your messages, access your health records or financial data, track your location, or even access your phone’s microphone or camera without your knowledge.
    6. No, because I believe it has too many consequences to the action. It would be so easy for a hacker to decrypt all iPhones with this knowledge. This is not only about the San Bernardino case. Many are for Apple complying just for justice for the United States vs. this terrorist, but not for their privacy being taken from them. I think the situation has more disadvantages than advantages.

    1. Cook claims the government would like Apple to make a software that would allow the potential to unlock any iPhone in someone's physical possession.
    2. The San Bernardino case brought this action to Apple's attention.
    3. Cook states that it is impossible to create a hack to look at information on one phone because if it can unlock the encrypted information on one phone, it can unlock encrypted information many times on different phones.
    4. The FBI is invoking the All Writs Act of 1789 to cover the unprecedented request.
    5. Cook states that by doing so the government could build software to intercept your messages, access your health records or financial data, track your location, or even access your phone’s microphone or camera, all without your knowledge.
    6. Apple should not comply with the FBI's request as it would invade people's privacy and upset more people than it would help the government to find potential terrorists. So the government, should think of a different solution to finding terrorists because this way would be pointless and only upset people.

    1.) make a backdoor to the ios on an iphone
    2.) an act of terrorism in San Bernadino
    3.) Because it once that one way is revealed other people can copy it and unlock other peoples phone.
    4.) All Writs Act of 1789
    5.) that if they ask of that, there is no limit to what they can ask of, they can ask to build surveillance on iphones and use the camera and or microphone without you knowing
    6.) No I don't think they should comply, because if they do that is creating a even bigger risk that can backfire terribly, for example lets say they do create it, and someone finds out how to do it exactly how apple did it, that leaves the door open to many other terrorists with hacking skills equivalent to that of any apple personnel. And if terrorists can get access to anyones phone then that will be very bad. Also that stunt they are pulling with the All Writs Act, whats from stopping them from what went down in 1984 by George Orwell and creating a Government that spies on everything that every U.S. Citizen is doing

    6. Yes and no. If the hack is used to spy on ordinary citizens then Apple should not comply, but if the hack is used to spy on criminals or people who have made threats to others safety then Apple should comply.

    1. Remove security features, and new capabilities to the operating system which would allow a passcode to be put in electronically, and to make a back door to the iPhone.
    2. The Sand Bernadino Case.
    3. Once the information in known about how to bypass security then that piece of information that person needed can be used to defeat the encryption by anyone that has that knowledge.
    4. All Writs Act.
    5. It would undermine the freedoms and liberty that our government meant to protect.
    6. No, because there are more cons than pros in this situation, and there are a lot of things that can go bad with this agreement. The FBI can find another way to solve this problem that they are having to where there is a lower risk that anyone can get natural laws violated, and the freedom that we have as U.S. citizens which is to respect and not come into others privacy. There are many people who are very smart, and if they was to get a hold of it which is very likely than it would cause more harm than good. This type of information can fall into the wrong hands if given which will cause more problems than solutions. There are some things that shouldn't be made or used for that matter, because that is very dangerous knowledge, and if it can be avoided than it should to stop problems before they happen.

    1) Cook claims that the government has asked Apple to build a backdoor to the iPhone, weakening the security of the phone for everyone.

    2) The San Bernardino case lead to this action.

    3) It is impossible to isolate the hack to only one phone because once the knowledge is out there it can be reused over and over again by hackers and anyone who possesses the knowledge of how to hack the phone in this manner.

    4) The FBI is invoking the All Wits Act of 1789 to cover this unprecedented request.

    5) Cook believes that the creation of this technology would lead to the loss of privacy for everybody, not just criminals because if the knowledge of the hack gets out then it can be used over and over again. On top of that it would come to act as a master key for phones, restaurants, banks, etc.

    6) Apple should not comply with the FBI. Because it is a complete invasion of privacy which America prides itself on having a right to, in order to not have an overbearing government which this nation was founded upon. I agree with Cook that once this hack is created, the use of it will spread through the technological community and be a threat to everyone. Even if it is created just for this use of it this one time and then deleted, there are brilliant people in the world who could recreate it and the danger to every American's privacy will rise. Not only will phone be able to be hacked but who is going to stop criminals and hackers from taking the hack and then enlarging it to work on networks for large companies, banks, the government, etc. The creation of this hack has no positives scenarios to the after effects of the "one time use" for the San Bernardino case.

    1. They wanted Apple to build a new iPhone operating system that would unlock any iPhone within someone's possession.
    2. The attacks on San Barnardino.
    3. Once the system is created it could be used repeatedly on any number of devices.
    4. The 1789 All Writs Act.
    5. They could have the power to reach into anyone's device and track/capture their usage.
    6. HECK NO,. First of all it's an invasion of privacy. Secondly, if they are wanting to look into a phone or a suspects phone, they need to acquire a warrant, they can forcibly take a phone from someone if it's a threat to the American people, but other than that, leave people's privacy in tact.

    1. The Government has asked Apple to create them a software that would enable the government to hack any person of suspicions cell phone records as well as all of the personal data that is stored on it.

    2. The San Bernadino Shooting precipitated these actions.

    3. Cook says it's impossible to create a very complex software that would only have the ability to hack one phone. Cook claims that with the creation of the software, the government, or if it somehow ended up in anyone elses hands, could be used an endless amount of times, and no one using an iPhone would have complete certainty that their personal data is afe.

    4. The All Writs Ask of 1789.

    5. Cook claims that if the Government were to be allowed to remove the security features form apple products, they would have the power to breach anyone's phones and capture any data that they may have stored, a complete breach of privacy.

    6. No, Apple should not comply with the Government's request to create this hack. If this software were to be created, no one would feel safe anymore, and more than likely, Apple would lose the vast majority of its business. A software that has the ability to hack anyone's phones and private information is clearly unconstitutional, and should not even be considered.

    1. Explain what Cook claims that the government has asked Apple to do.
    Create a iOS that can grant them acces and unlock any iPhone if needed and give them I for on customers.
    2. What event precipitated this action?the San Bernardio case
    3. Cook claims that the FBI has suggested that they create a hack that will allow them to look at the information on only one phone.  Why does Cook say that it is impossible to isolate the hack to one phone? It could be used over and over on any devices.
    4. What law is the FBI invoking to cover this unprecedented request?all writs act of. 1789
    5. What are the far-reaching effects that Cook delineates, which he believes will result from acquiescing to this request?
    Track you. Access to financial and health. Messages. And even microphone and camera
    6. In your opinion, should Apple comply with the FBI's request to create this hack?  Why or why not?
    No, it is out right as an America to privacy and the government has no right in taking it away from us.

    1) Cook claims the government asked Apple to "build a backdoor to the iPhone".
    2) The event that had precipitated this was a terrorist attack, the San Bernardino Case.
    3) Cook says it is impossible to isolate the hack to one phone because all of the phones will have the same security systems, which will make any phone available to any hacker with information on how to get passed the "key".
    4) The FBI is invoking the All Writs Act of 1789 to cover this unprecedented request.
    5) The far-reaching effects that Cook delineates are the government getting apple to access our messages, health records, financial record, location, and even, possibly, our microphone's and cameras.
    6) In my opinion, no, I think Apple should not comply with this request. It would be taking away our rights of privacy and possibly allowing any hacker to get all of the information they please from us. This could lead to more bullying and possibly even stalking; ultimately, I think, it could lead to a downfall of the United States

  13. Mayson McGee: Week of Feb. 22

    1) The government wants Apple to take an unprecedented step, which threatens security to people and their person information.

    2) The San Bernardino made this action happen

    3) It is impossible to isolate that to one phone because there is no way to guarantee such control if the FBI had this power. The technique could be used over and over. They could look into anybody's phone they wanted too and Apple has been working hard over the past decade to make sure its customer’s personal information is secure as it can get.

    4) The FBI is proposing an unprecedented use of the All Writs Act of 1789 to expand their power

    5) He says that it will be easier to hack into people phones and see your messages, through your camera without your knowledge, track your location, see your financial data, and health records, and if this hack falls into the wrong hands then everybody will be in big trouble that uses Apple products.

    6) No, Apple should not create this hack because people have their right to keep their personal information to themselves.

    6)Apple should not comply with the FBI to create this hack b/c then it could to lead to other hackers an easier way to get into peoples lives. It would be a breach of privacy and even if it could lead to the peoples reasoning for doing this tragedy, it would just cause more problems.

    1.) To build a backdoor to the IPhone
    2.) The terrorist attack at San Bernardio.
    3.) If you hold that information for one phone, it can be used again for another similar phone.
    4.) The All Writs Act of 1789
    5.) The government can see everything - our messages, our location, and even hack into our cameras.
    6.) No, Apple should not comply because this could lead to something bigger like the end of democracy. If the government can hack into our private property, it will be like they watch us and find a way to control us. It's an invasion of privacy. It seems like the first steps of 1984's world coming to life.

    1. Cook claims that the FBI has asked him to make a new version of the iPhone operating system to unlock an iPhone is a suspected criminal possession.
    2. The San Bernardino court case is the event that precipitated in the FBI’s actions.
    3. Because once created, the system could be used over and over again on any number of device which would be like a “master key” for any device.
    4. The FBI is invoking the All Writs Act of 1789.
    5. Cook delineates the fact that the government would continue to use the hacking system multiple times, not just for the one time they said they would.
    6. No, Apple shouldn’t comply. As the CEO Tim Cook explains, by creating a “back door” for one phone, hackers that are skilled and those who are not could break into any phone or IOS operating system. I respect Cook’s decision not to make the operating system out of respect for all Apple users.

    3. Once it's created, the same technique used to hack one phone can be used on multiple phones
    4.The All Writs Act of 1789
    5. The government could potentially intercept messages, access financial or health information, or track a person's location without them knowing.
    6.Yes, but no. If they don't comply with the request, then Apple could face legal trouble. However, this makes Apple's customer information, as well as their customer's devices, more accessible to hackers.

  18. 1. The FBI wants Apple to make a backdoor hack to get into Iphones in order to get into the San Bernardino terrorist phone to recover information.
    2. San Bernardino Terrorist attack
    3. Because once the bypass of the code is revealed, encryption is no longer safe and anybody could use it/be used on numerous of technologies.
    4. All Writs Act of 1789
    5. passcode to be input electronically, could capture anyone's data,intercept your messages, access your health records or financial data, track your location, or even access your phone’s microphone or camera
    6. Yes and No, because under the circumstances I would want them to allow the FBI into the terrorist phone,but at the same time its risking the well being and privacy of others.

    1) The FBI is basically asking Apple to weaken the encryption on their products which keep the data of Apple users safe so that they can get into phones easier.
    2)The San Bernardino case
    3)Once this hack is created, it will be able to be used multiple times on virtually any phone. They say it is like a "master key".
    4)All Writs Act of 1789
    5)He believes that if Apple complies to this request, that the government would be able to hack into anyone's data, and invade our privacy without our knowledge.
    6) I do not think that Apple should comply with this request, because I think that the government shouldn't have that much access into our personal lives. The idea of someone easily hacking into my phone and tracking my location, or even watching me through my camera terrifies me, and I think that numerous others would feel the same.

    6.no, i do not believe apple should create a system in which it is easier to hack into, just so the FBI can track phones, however i do believe there should be a way for apple to see suspicious activity on the iphone but not to the extent of looking through cameras and microphones without people knowing.

    1. Cook claims that the government has asked Apple to create a version of the iOS that could bypass any barriers of security (in the name of justice), essentially a backdoor to the current iOS.

    2. The San Bernardino case precipitated the recent action of the government.

    3. Cook says that it is impossible to hack only one phone because of the fact that the hack can be used over and over again, like a master key.

    4. The FBI plans to invoke the All Writs Act of 1789 to justify its request and possibly even expand its power.

    5. Cook describes the effects of such an invention could result in future expansions in breaches in privacy along with possible surveillance installations that could remain unbeknownst to the user.

    6. Apple should not comply with the FBI's request because it breaks all sorts of barriers, particularly privacy and security, and can even cause users harm. If this does happen, the world could plunge into a dystopia much like "1984".

    1. Create a backdoor for the I phone, making accessing peoples personal information much easier.
    2. The San Bernardino Case
    3. Because creating a software that bye passes security and encryption codes is the same thing as someone having a master key.
    4. The All Writs Act of 1789
    5. The government having access to way to much personal information, and that if the wrong person used this backdoor key they too would have access to anyones personal information.
    6. No, the FBI have good intentions, but it's putting way too many people at risk. the bad affects far outweigh any good benefits from it.

    5.intercept your messages, access your health records or financial data, track your location, or even access your phone’s microphone or camera without your knowledge.
    6.Absolutely not. As citizens, we are entitled to our privacy. That is why we have social media. If we had access to other's personal lives we wouldn't need social media. Allowing the government to hack into our personal lives (and more likely hackers) is simply an invasion of privacy. It's ridiculous.

    3. He says its impossible because once the bypass code is revealed, anyone who knows about it can use it. Also, when the technique is revealed it can be done multiple times on multiple devices.
    4. All Writs Act of 1789
    5. That if they do what the FBI wants them to it could lead to the government asking them to build surveillance software to intercept messages, access health records and financial data, track location, or access camera or microphone on a phone.
    6. No, because it could lead to something like Big Brother by taking a little piece of someone's privacy one by one. Also, if it gets in the wrong hands a lot of people's lives could be ruined.

    3. The technique could unlock numerous of devices from restaurants to stores
    4.The 3rd amendment which places restrictions on the privacy of others without a warrant
    5. It would be easier for the government to unlock your phone and reach your data and information.
    6. NO, even though I’m not an Apple user, this is an invasion of privacy. The government should not act like Big Brother and be able to go through our phones without a reasonable search warrant.

    1. To create a new ios update on Apple products to allow access to any personal data on that product.
    2. The San Bernardino Case
    3. Because once the hack is made, they will be able to hack into any Apple phone and not just one.
    4. Writs Act of 1789
    5. They fear that this would damage the freedom of all Apple users. Seeing that they built a software that was built to keep their personal data safe. but is now going to be used for the opposite.
    6. I believe that they should not allow the FBI request's to create the hack. Because even though it could help track illegal issues. But if this data was to fall in the wrong hands it could lead to total chaos. Also if there was a spy in the FBI all of not just people, but government information could be hacked.

    1. Cook claims the government has asked Apple to compromise the safety of Apples customers.
    2. The event that precipitated this action was the San Bernadino case.
    3. Cook says it is impossible to isolate a hack to one persons phone because then the hack could leak and compromise the security of all apple customers.
    4. The FBI is invoking the All Writes act of 1785.
    5. Cook believes that by creating a backdoor to the iphone this could cause any iphone to be hacked while still in the owners possesion.
    6. In my opinion Apple should not create this hack because of the potential damage it could do. But my opinion aside i believe that Apple as a major worldwide corporation, has the right to do whatever they so choose with their products. They also have a right to protect their customers, no matter who they are or what they have done.

    1. Open a back door to the IPhone
    2. The attacks in San Bernardino
    3. Once created it could be continued to be used to hack phones
    4. Act of 1789
    5. The government could potentially have access to our text, health records, financial records, and even access our microphones and cameras
    6. I do not think they should comply with this request. This "backdoor" weakens the encryption on our phones, making access easier for the government but hackers as well. I think by doing this they are no longer protecting us, they are now making millions of people and their personal information vulnerable. We have passwords and difficult encryptions for reasons, to protect us and by weakening these they are telling us that this one investigation is much more important than the privacy and safety of millions of Americans.

    1- Cook claims that the FBI wants him to basically create a "backdoor" for the iphone. A way to completely go through all the security to get the personal information from this terrorists' phone.
    2-San Bernardino case.
    3- Because the sequence of how they do it will be leaked and this technique qould be like a master key to get into every Iphone.
    4- All Writs Act of 1789
    5- Anyone could intercept your messages, access your health records or financial data, track your location, or even access your phone’s microphone or camera without your knowledge.
    6- No they should not. Yes, this is a terrorist situation and the FBI is only trying to protect our country but this could lead to a world wide situation of hacking personal information. This leak of personal information of ones phone could lead to identity theft, kidnappings, stalkers, and so many other problems.

    1).compromise people's security.

    2). The act of terrorism in San Bernardino last December.

    3). Because it would be like a master key, and would be available to use with other Apple devices.

    4).All Writs Act of 1789

    5). Use your camera and microphone to listen to your conversations, look at your messages, health and financial records, and track you.

    6). I can see where the FBI are coming from, however it is a serious invasion of privacy. So, no I do not think that they should go along with the FBI because it would diminish the trust we have in the FBI and invade our privacy.

    1. The government asked Apple to reinvent an iPhone with an operating system that has several important security features which could unlock any iPhone, that surpasses any security on the phone, and can be expanded to find out more about the user.
    2. The San Bernardino Case
    3. Because the process could be done over and over again through anyone that has the knowledge or "key to encryption"
    4. All Writs Act of 1789
    5. The government also could hack into millions of the iPhone users and collect the data on their iPhones, this could also allow Apple to intercept text messages, access health records and financial data as well as access the microphone and camera of an iPhone.
    6. No, it invokes the privacy of all Americans that are given through unalienable rights in the Constitution. The government should not be able to access our text messages, phone calls, and much less our camera. This invasion of privacy is illegal and should not be even thought about being allowed. This invasion of privacy could lead to other invasions of privacy such as taking away our guns, searching our houses, etc. This strips us away from being Americans and having freedoms.

    1 breach security on supposed terrorists phones, which cook describes as an "unprecedented step which threatens the security of our customers"

    2. the San Bernardino shootings


    4. All Writs Act of 1789

    5 that the government will use this new backdoor software they are requesting to violate future customers privacy and take information from citizens phones

    6. No, because it violates security and privacy of the citizen. America bases its morals around freedom and hacking into phones makes us look more like North Korea than America. it is morally and nationally wrong.
