  1. 1.To create a way for the government to access data on an IPhone through the means of a backdoor.
    2.The San Bernardino Shooting
    3.Because they have access to a sort of master key and nothing limits their control over the tool meaning they could use it on millions of people instead of just a few.
    4.The All Writs Act of 1789
    5.It would undermine years of security advancements on Apple products and breach the privacy of Apple customers.
    6.No absolutely not, It would give the government the ability to watch people through their PERSONAL belongings. It would be used as a scare tactic to tell people that you can't hide anything from family pictures to private matters. I mean if you think about what criminal organization is going to just text someone on a smartphone while they're at it why don't they just post a Instagram picture of their illegal activities or change their Tinder Bio and put well respected terrorist in there. Who would agree to such to a unrequired action if a terrorist can create a bomb i'm quite sure they can also hide personal information and not blatantly give away their identity through social media or on a easily hackable device.

    1. basically the government asked Apple to build a software that could invade a person's privacy, but only for "emergency" reasons
    2. the San Bernardino case
    3. because it acts like a master key that could unlock everything
    4. Act of 1789
    5. that it is wrong for the government to force Apple to build a backdoor
    6. Heck to the no, if the Apple do comply to their idea it would be tragic because our privacy wouldn't be private anymore, in fact it could be access anytime. Like for example what if there's someone who is currently obsessed with you and even if you rejected that person, that person still wants you. But, he turns out to be a Blackhat and his brother in law works for the FBI so he hacks his brother's computer and finds pictures, messages, videos, and basically everything. That is why its a BAD IDEA in general even if it's for government purposes.

  3. 1. Create a backdoor to there products so it is easier to access users data.
    2. the San Bernardino case
    3. because the hack would be applied to every phone through a iOS software.
    4. all writs act
    5. your privacy will be taken away. people can have access to all your data and even your camera and your microphone.
    6. no, although creating the hack would help control and defeat terrorism i think that the privacy and protection of apples customers is the better option. Many apple user connect there finances and cards with there products along with there health things and private information jeopardizing that could create a huge problem. It is also unfair to walk around unsure if someone can here your conversations through your microphone on your iphone or seeing things through the camera of your iphone especially if you text in the shower like me.

    1.demanded that Apple take an unprecedented step which threatens the security of their customers by unlocking an iphone they found in the investigation.
    2. San Bernardino shooting.
    3. The hack is like a master key.
    4. All writs act of 1789.
    5.The government could make apple build surveillance software into the phones letting them access your messages, calls, health data, financial info, or access the microphone or camera without you knowing.
    6. I think that apple should take the phone and unlock and give it to the FBI. we need to know who the people were talking to and who is behind the attacks.

    The government wants Apple to make a new operating system without certain security parts. The San Bernardino shooting precipitated this. Cook says that this technique could be used multiple times once it is used once, making it not just for this one phone. The FBI is using the All Writs Act of 1789.
    Cook claims that if they use this act now, they can access anyone’s personal information anytime they want. Apple should not comply because this will only cause a downward spiral of the government accessing any data they want anytime they want, which infringes on our right to privacy.

    1. To make a backdoor into all apple products making it so the government has access to everything on our phones.
    2. The San Bernardino Case
    3. Because anything that can unlock one phone would be able to unlock all phones creating a "master key"
    4. All Writs Act of 1789
    5. Cook is worried that the information could fall into the wrong hands and people could be hacked and that if he acquiesces this demand what is stopping them form making apple make code to intercept messages, access the phones camera, and much more.
    6. No, because apple has to respect the privacy of others and the government would then have a key to everyone's iPhones all over the world not just in America and apple doesn't get to decide things for the whole world.

    1. In Cook's opinion he believes that the government is trying to make Apple build something that will be to powerful and will take away all privacy to the Apple users.
    2. act of terrorism in San Bernardino
    3. Once you build something like that then it could be built again.
    4. All Writs Act of 1789
    5. The government will eventually want more access where they could tap into any phone where they could access you camera, microphone, and other things more personal than a text message.
    6. No, it violates our rights as people of the United States Of America.

    1. The government wants apple to make a software that will bypass the security on an iPhone.
    2. They want Apple to do this because of the San Bernardino Case, an investigation by the FBI about an act of terrorism last December, because they think unlocking this iPhone is necessary to the investigation and that it will provide key information.
    3. If the software is created, even if it is isolated to be legally used just for the San Bernardino Case, the software would be able to unlock any iPhone and undoubtedly someone outside of the law would get a hold of it or if they didn't, the government would wrongly use personal information they shouldn't have access to in the first place.
    4. All Writs Act of 1789
    5. it would have the power to hack into anyone’s device to capture their data, receiving medical records, text messages, contacts, camera, or microphone without a persons consent or knowledge.
    6. In my opinion, Apple should not comply with this request, because although it is only in the best intentions of the government, to provide information in a crucial case, the price would be too great. Creating a hack like this would enable terrorists to do a lot more than they have access to doing at this time and the hack would make it easy to get into the Apple products of even the highest of authority and importance. There is a certain extent to where the government should not be allowed to violate a persons privacy, and even if they don't want to use the software for anything other than the iPhone within the circumstances of the San Bernardino Case, eventually the software would be used for more and more exceptions until they used it to access an everyday person's information. Just because there are bad people and terrorists out there does not give the FBI a right to make a tool to reach into just anyone's personal life and information.

    1. They want to make a new software to Apple's products with more security features.
    2. The San Bernardino Case.
    3. the technique could be uses continuously on many other devices.
    4. Writs Act of 1789.
    5. Millions of citizens would be exposed and could result in attack.
    6. No, apple should not comply with the request because many people are at hand and expect their private things to be safe and not exposed to anyone they don't want it exposed to. The FBI wants to request this hack for a small number of people in an investigation, but the outcome is resulting in millions of people's private data and storage being completely unprotected.

    1. "Hack their users and undermine decades of security advancements that protect their customers."
    2. A deadly act of terrorism in San Bernardino.
    3. He said that "once created, the technique could be used over and over again, on any number of devices."
    4. All Writs Act of 1789
    5. I believe apple should do what the FBI wants because if you could help stop terrorism, especially on that scale, why wouldn't you. I know I would.

    1. To allow the FBI to hack into the phone and get the information.
    2. The San Bernardino shooting.
    3. They cannot contain hackers from getting the information necessary to hack into someone's phone if they create a backdoor.
    4. The All Writs Act of 1789.
    5. It would make it easier for hackers to get access to all I-phones through the backdoor that will create.
    6. I believe that Apple should give in so we could stop other would be shooters by them looking at the phone calls. I also believe that they should not because they should respect peoples privacy. People should feel secure when they use their I-phone.

    1. According to Cook, the FBI has asked Apple to create new software that can unlock any iPhone.
    2. The act of terrorism in San Bernardino last December
    3. The technique could be used again, on any number of devices, if created.
    4. All Writs Act of 1789
    5. The government might demand surveillance software to intercept messages, access health records or financial data, track your location, or access a phone’s microphone or camera without the awareness of the owner of the phone.
    6. No. With consideration of the probable resulting effects, Apple’s compliance would violate the basic rights of American citizens.

    1. Create a new operating system for iPhone’s that is easier to open less defended.
    2. The acts of terrorism in San Bernardino.
    3. Because others can find it if they try hard enough and use it against others.
    4. The all Writs Act
    5. Hackers being able to find this hack and easily using it against anybody with an iPhone to get their personal information.
    6. I do not believe they should make the hack because they would be sacrificing millions of people’s privacy and more for something in the past that has already happened.

    1. To build a backdoor to the iPhone, which means they want Apple to build a new iPhone with sercurity feaatures, so when they recover a iPhone they can install it in the phone.
    2. The San Bernardine case.
    3. It is equal to a master key. It can open hundreds of millions of locks.
    4. The All Writs Act of 1789.
    5. That they would soon be able to read your messages, see your health records and finacial data, track your location, and access your mirophone and camera without you knowing.
    6. I do not think Apple should comply with the FBI's request. If they do build a backdoor to the iPhone it would invade peoples privacy and could possible allow hackers to hack into phones and get someones personal onformation.

    1. Explain what Cook claims that the government has asked Apple to do. Tim Cook is saying that the government has asked Apple to give up information which goes against their promise to smartphone users.

    2. What event precipitated this action? The school shooting in California.

    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? For one all iPhone use the same operating system and two this kind of program crates a backdoor that would allow someone to access anyones iPhone.

    4. What law is the FBI invoking to cover this unprecedented request? The 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? Forcing Apple to build a hack for their own devices would undermine American democracy and American rights.

    6. In your opinion, should Apple comply with the FBI's request to create this hack? Why or why not?
    I think the FBI should leave the phone alone since the people who initiated the shooting are dead. The situation is pretty much over. Now if this had something to do with ISIS the FBI could let Apple work on the phone themselves and just get the information from Apple after they are finished.

    1. The government is asking Apple to make a way to access anyone's device through the operating system.
    2. San Bernidino Shooting
    3. Because if they information for that hack to get into the phone was released then other people could use it for the wrong reasons.
    4. All Writs Act of 1789
    5. That the government could use the backdoor to access anyones phone at anytime, without a warrant or anything.
    6. Complying would be one of the worst ideas proposed. Not only does it put peoples personal information out there, but it invades peoples privacy and rights. I do believe it would be a good idea for CERTAIN purposes like criminal cases but it is still too risky and could be used inappropriately.

    1. That Apple takes an unprecedented step that can threaten the security of its customers.

    2. An act of terrorism in San Bernardino.

    3. Because this version of iOS can act as a master key to all other iPhones.

    4. All Writs Act of 1789

    5. That the government will be able to access anyone's information.

    6. No, this "hack" could fall into the wrong hands, and then with everyone using it, any sort of encryption on your mobile devices data is useless. You're exposed and anyone with the power to use this version of iOS can use it. The government could also more easily spy on you and access your private information.

    1. The government has asked Apple to build a backdoor to the iPhone.
    2. San Bernardino Attack
    3. It would open millions and millions of locks of the world such as information from restaurants, banks, and homes.
    4. The All Writs Act of 1789
    5. Millions could be affected if the hack was put into the wrong hands. It causes a potential threat.
    6. Apple shouldn't comply to make this hack because not only does this go against our first amendment, but it gives the government way too much control over the people of our country. If the government gains the control to look through our devices and access our personal information, shouldn't we just go ahead and specify the United States as a communist country?

    1. Cook claims that the government has asked Apple to make a new operating system in which it would be easier to unlock your phone and surveillance your messages and other personal information.

    2. The San Bernardino terrorist event precipitated this action.

    4. The All Writs Act of 1789 is created to take care of this issue.
    5. The power to reach into any phone will result from this request.
    6. Apple should not comply with the FBI's request because it invades personal privacy.

    1. The government wants a "backdoor" to iphones which would basically be a master key to get into everyones phone and their personal information that is stored in the phone. If they unlock it they have access to anything in your phone. It is basically like handing someone your phone and telling them your password, then leaving them alone with it with no one monitoring their access.

    2. The San Bernardino Case in December which was an act of terrorism and they claim that for safety reason they need to be able to have the "master key" to phones.

    3. He said the technique could be used over and over again, on any number of devices and then they can't contain it to one phone.

    4. All Writs Act of 1789

    5. If they can access any data from your phone they can get health records, financial information, access your camera or microphone without you knowing, and anyone could figure out how to hack into everyone's phone.

    6. I understand safety being a priority to the government and I appreciate that because it means that my safety as well as the people around me is being valued. I do not believe the hack is a good idea. The governments hearts are in the right place but I think Apple knows a little more about technology then they do, they created the iphone and know more about it then the government. If Apple says that they can't just access it from one phone, one time then the government can't. If someone that is not from the government was to get the master key to everyone's iphone there would be a problem. I would not be worried about what the government could see on my phone but if someone not from the government did. If the government was able to get access wouldn't people find other ways to communicate? For example, if a kid's parents check their phone or had their passwords they would not text a friend about a rule they are breaking or a plan to lie to their parents, it would be tattling on your self. Imagine the government as the parents and terrorist as the kid, the terrorist would figure something else out. I think it is not worth it and the bad outweighs the good.

    1 make a backdoor to iphones
    2 san berdino attack
    3 because it can be copyed for any phone
    4 all writs act
    5 intercept messages, access health records or financial data, track locations, or control a phone’s microphone or camera
    6 Definitely not! this is way to dangerous of a thing to create. It is way to easy to take advantage of, and I hate the idea that the government would be able to get any information. Also, what if someone other than the government got a hold of it they could break into anyone's phone. BAD IDEA. also I don't think what there asking for is entirely legal because the all writs act basically just says they can do anything as long as it complies with the law, and wouldn't this be an invasion of privacy.

    1) The government wants Apple to create a backdoor so they can access one of the terrorist’s phones that were in the San Bernardino shooting.
    2) The San Bernardino shooting.
    3) Because other hackers can hack in and use the hack on other people to steal their personal information, if they compromise the security of one phone it can spread and put lots of people at risk.
    4) All Writs Act of 1789.
    5) It could cause a breach in your security and the surveillance software could be used 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) I don’t think Apple should comply with the FBI's request to create the hack because it could be used to hack into millions of other people’s phones and steal their personal information and put them in danger.

    1. The FBI is wanting Apple to build a master key, or “backdoor”, to Apple products, so that the government can get into all Apple products and look at the information on them.
    2. The San Bernardino Case
    3. The hack could be used as many times as anybody wanted to.
    4. All Writs Act of 1789
    5. The FBI could use this to hear what you say on the microphone, access your camera, intercept messages or calls, track your location, and even access health or financial records.
    6. No, it doesn’t matter if they have a warrant or not, what they’re doing is wrong, because it violates millions of U.S. citizens privacy and it’s trying to force Apple to do something. The FBI could use your phone as a weapon against your security and if Apple does this, then they might lose a lot of customers, since their customers information and lives aren’t private

  24. 1. The government has asked Apple to create a "back door" to their IOS software to their iPhones. when doing that, you undermine decades of security and trust of the product.
    2. A terrorist attack
    3. Well, when a software, or being used in this presence, hack, you cannot simply limit the times you can duplicate using it. Once the software, or hack, has been made, then the computer software is remembered in the tiny memory bites and can always be rescued.
    4. The FBI is going against our first amendment, the right to free speech. When we can not speak without the government peaking over our shoulder, then we are not not being able to use our 1st amendment.
    5. Hackers will be able to get into all of your stuff, from health data, messaging data, to even private stuff like possibly your bank account.
    6. I agree and disagree. When the government is almost forcing the biggest phone company to create a glitch in their security system for them to use, it is very chilling to know if they are the slightest bit of suspicious of you, they will get into your records. I agree to that somewhat because if you keep your nose clean, then you will be fine.

    1. To build a backdoor to the iPhone. In other words, to give people another way to access it by hacking into the phone.
    2. The San Bernardino terrorist attack.
    3. Because whoever is using the hack may find a way to use it in another phone.
    4. All Writs Act of 1789
    5. The government could gain access to private things such as your messages or even your camera or microphone without you even realizing it.
    6. I don’t think so. If the government wanted to get into a phone, Apple should open it for them manually, without a hack, as they have the power to do so. Creating a hack is a dangerous thing to do. The hack may get into the wrong hands and it may be used wrongly. It could be a danger to many people if used in the wrong hands, and there are many alternative ways to get information off a phone.

  26. 1. Make a backdoor to the iphone, create a way to easily access an iphone and bypass the lock.

    4. All Writs Act of 1789
    5. The government could access all your phones memory/data and functions without you knowing.

    1. The government wants Apple to create a software that is the "backdoor" to the iPhone. This would mean that anyone that has the software has the ability to unlock any iPhone and have access to its contents.
    2. The San Bernardino Case and an iPhone recovered from the investigation.
    3. Because once the hack is created, it is there. Anyone who can find a way through or a code can access it and automatically has a "master key" to all iPhones.
    4. They are saying that it can only be used once for this specific iPhone and case.
    5. It will ruin the trust that Apple has with their customers, and violate what all Apple has stood for, by allowing people to easily break into other's iPhones.
    6. No, I don't think so, because there is no way to control it, and no way to know who has their hands on it. But, if the government wants it, there isn't any way to stop them from getting it, is there?

  30. Abbey Ray,
    1. Cook claims that the government has asked Apple to remove security codes and then to allow an electronic passcode to be installed so that it is easier for the government to get into someone's iPhone.
    2. The San Bernardino terrorist attack last December precipitated this action.
    3. Cook says that it is impossible to isolate the hack to just one phone because once it is out there, the hack would be equivalent to a master key.
    4. The All Writs Act of 1789 is the law that the FBI is invoking.
    5. The far-reaching effects that Cook delineates is that if they did this hack, then it would damage what the government says that they will protect, our freedom and liberty.
    6. No because just like Cook says, once this hack is created, even if for a good reason, it can be used on many other devices; therefore, revealing the privacy on our iPhones.

    1. The FBI has asked Apple to create a backdoor to everyone's iPhones so that they can see all of their information in case it leads to them being a terrorist or criminal.
    2. The act of terrorism in San Bernardino.
    3. Cook says that it is impossible to hack only one phone because in the wrong hands, this software could possibly unlock any IPhone in someone's physical possession.
    4. The FBI is invoking the All Writs Act of 1789.
    5. Cook believes that this is basically taking away the freedoms and liberty our government is meant to protect.

    1.) Cook says the government has asked to create a back door into the IPhone that allows anyone to access the information on the phone at anytime.
    2.) San Bernardino Case
    3.) Once the device is made/ created then there is no stopping anyone from recreating it or the design to get out for anyone to know.
    4.) The All Writs Act of 1789
    5.) He said it would be wrong for the government to force them to create a backdoor into the iPhones, he also says that demand would defeat the freedoms and Liberty our government is meant to protect.
    6.) No, they should not create a backdoor into the iPhone. They shouldn't because they have promised protection of all the iPhone users information and if they create the backdoor there is no telling who could end up with your private information.

    1. The government has asked Apple to create a backdoor into iPhones, so that they can unlock them easier and access personal information.
    2. This was started by the San Bernardino case.
    3. Cook talks about how once it is created, the technique could be used over and over again.
    4. The FBI is trying to use the All Writs Act of 1789.
    5. Cook think that 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 even though the FBI would use it to stop criminals, it is still an invasion of privacy and taking away our rights as citizens of this country. Also, if a criminal or terrorist gets their hands on this type of software, chaos would occur.

    3. He says this because all IOS devices have the same security system and once the system has been made it can always be recreated or stolen.
    4. All Writs Act of 1789
    5. He believes it will lead to the government demanding access to IPhones regularly and the use of the backdoor by hackers and criminals.
    6. Yes, our national security is at risk here. Apple has created something that allows criminals to scheme and communicate without any consequences. The FBI is only trying to investigate a case to keep ua safe from future acts of terror. They are not trying to get information from our phones regularly or they would address that instead. Sure privacy is important, but not at the loss of safety.

    1.) Make a backdoor to the iPhone, which gives power to unlock any iPhone.
    2.) Past terrorist attacks.
    3.) The hack would be like a master key, and anyone with the knowledge of the encryption could hack it or use it.
    4.) All Writs Act of 1789
    5.) It would have the power to unlock anyone's phone, look into personal information, and spy on customers.
    6.) No, it is a breach of our security and privacy.

    1. To take all security features off in a new operating system.
    2.The San Bernardino Case
    3.There is no guaranteed way to limit its control.
    4.All Writs Act of 1789
    5.It will "undermine the very freedoms and liberty our government is meant to protect"
    6. Yes, but keep a VERY close eye on who will have access to it. If in the wrong hands the new "backdoor" could take away the sense of privacy with all Apple products and cause their sales to go down.

    1: hack their customers
    2: The San Bernardino case
    3: once the hack is created, it is equivalent to a master key and could be threatening.
    4: All Writs Act of 1789
    5: breaking everyone's privacy and having the power to read anyone's data.
    6: No because they promised to not infiltrate your phone in their contract then people will sue and they will go in debt.

    1. They asked the government to hack into peoples phones.
    2. The San Bernardino Case
    3. Once you made it, it could be used over and over again.
    4. All Writs Act of 1789.
    5. Being able to receive customers information and see their cameras and microphones.
    6. No, people deserve their privacy, although, it would benefit if they could detect terrorists.

  41. 1. The government has essentially asked apple to place a backdoor into their systems. They want a way to bypass all encryption and receive data etc.

    2. The terrorist attack in San Bernardino last December

    3. There is no way to guarantee the security of isolating it to one phone. This could easily be used in many other cases for “just one more time”. In a sense, it is a master key.

    4. They are using the All Writs Act of 1789.

    5. This backdoor could be used over and over and the strong encryptions could no longer be there. This could be used to hack cameras and much more on any device and cause a loss of support for the company etc.

    6. I personally believe this is two-sided sword. While there are pros to this seemingly simple solution in this particular case, the cons carry a heavy weight as well. This could do a lot more evil than it would ever do good. Things like this give people in power even more power, and it’s a never ending conquest for more. This will be abused and eventually cause WAY more harm than good. This brings us back to the conversation of is the ability of constant surveillance moral or is it just a dystopian situation that always ends bad.This happens often and doesn’t tend to work in the best interest of the people.

    1.Specifically, the FBI wants them to make a new version of the iPhone operating system, circumventing several important security features, and install it on an iPhone recovered during the investigation.
    2. the deadly act of terrorism in San Bernardino last December.
    3. Once created, the technique could be used over and over again, on any number of devices. In the physical world, it would be the equivalent of a master key, capable of opening hundreds of millions of locks.
    4. All Writs Act of 1789
    5. that this demand would undermine the very freedoms and liberty our government is meant to protect.
    6. Most deffinitely not; if the FBI wants to do build their own phone and do that, they should go ahead but apple should not comply with the FBI because it is a violation of the first amendment, and also, it's not their problem what the FBI wants.

    1. Create a backdoor that bypasses the security to get into a phone.
    2. Terrorism in San Bernardino.
    3. Once created this technique could be used over and over again because it is like a master key.
    4. The All Writs Act of 1789.
    5. That it would undermine our freedom that the government should protect.
    6. They should not let the FBI to do this because then it would get used when it is not supposed to be and will eliminate the privacy and freedom we are allowed in America.

    1. The United States government has demanded that Apple take an unprecedented step which threatens the security of their customers.
    2. The San Bernardino Case
    3. To build a backdoor to the iPhone would potentially give access to anyone's phone without their password, which threatens the security.
    4. The FBI is proposing an unprecedented use of the All Writs Act of 1789 to justify an expansion of its authority.
    5. 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.
    6. No, it is an invasion of personal privacy. If the FBI can get into them then extreme hackers will eventually be able to get into them.

    The govt. asked Apple to create an IOS that would let them retrieve info from the phone in the Bernadino Case.
    The San Bernadino Attack.
    Once you have a backdoor option, anyone can use it to get information.
    4. The All Writs Act of 1789
    5. The govt. could continue to request more breaching of pivacy by asking them to build satellites or other privacy corrupting software
    6. I think they should not. It is an invasion of the privacy of the American people, and in the wrong hands, could even lead to more terrorism.

    6. Though the answer should be yes, and us trust our government not to reveal this hack or abuse its power, we can not rely on this as our government has a precedent of abusing privilege.

  47. 1. To hack their users and undermine security
    2. The San Bernardino case
    3. The technique can be replicated on any number of devices
    4. All writs act of 1789
    5. The government could extend the breach of privacy and demand Apple to bid surveillance software to intercept messages.
    6. No, the FBI has all sorts of ways to obtain secrets. The power of being able to hack someone's phone would make the FBI untouchable.

    1.To give the government access to people's i phones.

    4.The All Writs Act of 1789
    5.That it is all for our safety.
    6.No, because it could effect so many people, and cause Apple to lose business because of the FBI's request.

    1. “ They have asked us to build a backdoor to the iPhone.”
    2. The deadly act of terrorism in San Bernardino.
    3. Cook says ,”Once created, the technique could be used over and over again, on any number of device.”
    4.All Writs Act of 1789
    5. He believes that the FBI have good intentions. And usually anything they ask them to do they will do it.
    6. No because that is the biggest invasion of privacy. Something we have been fighting for, forever. And I say forever because all races and all people have this one thing in common, we want our privacy. When I grow up and start taking care of myself and paying my bills, do you think I will like the fact that my phone is being hacked and all my business is basically in the air.

    1. They demanded that apple take unprecedented step which threatens the security of apple customers.
    2. The All Writs act.
    3. Because they would have to hack all phones in order to do it correctly and it would be harming someone and their privacy.
    4. To justify an expansion of its authority.
    5. He would hack a fake phone to give to the FBI.
    6. No, because people should have their privacy and if they do hack into a phone then they should notify the owner of the phone.

    1) The government wants Apple to build a backdoor into all iOS devices
    2)The San Bernardino terrorists attacks
    3)The software could unlock any iPhone
    4)The All Writs Act of 1789
    5)The government could unlock any iPhone and access Data
    6)No they should comply because then the FBI could just spy on you out of nowhere. Basically if the software is created then Apple would be forced to roll it out to all iPhones. This could reach out to all ecosystems including Windows, Android, and Mac OsX. You wouldn't want someone peeping on you when you go to the bathroom so why is this any different? Just because the government says they're gonna use it on one phone doesn't mean they won't hack your phone. It gives the you are guilty until proven innocent mindset. Even if you say that I won't do anything wrong, they could take what you say out of context and boom lock up. What if they sell your data to companies such as your boss or healthcare. You might lose insurance or might get fired.

  52. 1.The government has demanded that Apple let them hack some of their phones to get information on Intel that they need.
    2.When the FBI requested data
    3.The new operating system would make data available for anyone to access the data, especially if they have the encryption code
    4. All Writes Act
    5. People's personal data could be accesed and anyone could be able to easily get past the encryption
    6. No, because people have a right to their privacy and their records. I think people would also feel unsafe if this hack goes through.
