The founder of Microsoft had not yet expressed his opinion on whether or not Apple should help the government in the request that the FBI has made for the Cupertino to unlock the device that they have not been able to access due to the lock code. Gates has finally expressed his point of view in an interview with the Financial Times newspaper in which he states that Apple should comply with government demands to try to help in the investigation on the terrorist activity that caused 14 deaths last December 2.
He further objects to Apple's claims that a back door would set a precedent for both the justice department and other governments that wants to have at hand all the data related to its citizens.
This is a specific case in which the government is requesting help to gain access. Both the Justice Department and the FBI are requesting help for a specific case.
The United States Department of Justice, as well as FBI Director James Comey and the White House they only request that the company unlock the device, iPhone 5c, used by terrorists in the attack last December. A federal judge last week ordered the Cupertino people to comply with FBI requests to help unlock Farook's (one of the shooters) iPhone that is currently protected by a passcode.
Despite the parade of tech industry bigwigs backing Apple's decision, a poll conducted by the Rew Research Center on Monday showed that the majority of respondents (51%) side with the government. It is unclear if the people surveyed understand the underlying security issues.
You have to be half a turnip not to believe that in the first place, the FBI is going to get the unlocking tool, and that many other countries are going to start taking legal cases to have their iPhones unlocked. Good for Apple, then they say that iOS is not secure
I think it is their thing that the government can follow and see everything related to the attacks, the terrorists should not be given a truce.
I make sense if you are a normal person, and I say normal, because of not having a list of crazy and suicidal terrorists on your phone, that you only have contacts of acquaintances and officially downloaded programs or data, how afraid you have to be seen by the government If you are afraid it is because you hide something or something strange you have on your mobile.
Good for the FBI and all my support, I consider myself a normal person, I have nothing to hide, I declare the Treasury and pay my taxes.
If I have a slip and carry a photo of naked aunts on my cell phone, I don't care if the government, the FBI or the neighbor of the 5th see me if with that I can stop destroying and eradicating terrorism and terrorists.
I don't have suicide bomber phones on the phone. I'm normal.
When you open the system, the terrorists will enter your mobile, the starlings and pedophiles.
You have nothing to hide, Brigida?
Well, they will enter your operating system, they will steal your children's photos and upload them to a pornographic network.
But your calm. That you have nothing to hide.
That is just one example.
Much more can be done if they enter your phone.
Let's not be hypocritical and don't confuse privacy with having to hide something.
I am more normal than you since I understand the dangers that I knew that any retarded person steals photos of someone and publishes them wherever, however they want and of whom they want.
It is not what you have but what they can do with your photos or information.
They can manipulate it at will and even if they are a mindundi they think that they can also distort you.
Do the test.
Hang any real photo of you here.
When you do, I will download it and send you a link so you can see where I have hung you and what you are going to look like.
I assure you that you will not like it.
Come on ... Cheer up!
Never, there is much more at risk, I am very sorry for the dead, but the safety and privacy of the living is worth more.
That is how bad everything he does works, I honestly do not wonder that this man supports the government and not the safety and integrity of users.
People confuse having something to hide with the right to privacy. The stasi thing is child's play with what they know today, and what to use to move masses (when specific people)
You have nothing to hide, Brigida?
Well, I will enter your operating system, I will steal your children's photos and upload them to a pornographic network.
But your calm. That you have nothing to hide.
That is just one example.
Much more can be done if it came into your phone.
