Summary: Should Apple Have To Cooperate With The FBI

Decent Essays
I believe that Apple should cooperate with the FBI so that they can find the information that they need.Recently there was an investigation in the FBI that needed information from an IPhone,which is a product of Apple, because they believed it held information that could help understand why they did it and if there was going to be another attack.When the FBI asked Apple if they could get into the IPhone they said no.In the article “PRO/CON:Should Apple have resisted FBI pressure to hack an IPhone?” by Tribune News Service it says,”Instead, the FBI wanted Apple to write a new software to unlock Syed Farook’s IPhone.” But the FBI only wanted Syed Farook’s information off of his phone and nobody elses. The reason Apple didn’t want to cooperate

    I also agree that Apple is acting unethically and irresponsible. They exploit workers to the utmost, and it is true that many corporations do it as well, nonetheless Apple is a leading corporation in innovative technology; therefore, they should behave more responsibly. I believe that organizations, such as RAN, will undoubtedly put a stop to Apple’s improper practice. Furthermore, I assume Apple cares about its workers, but they prioritize their customers, and therefore they feel a lot of pressure to come out with new products that will satisfy their customers. In order to do that, they must also manufacture an enormous amount of products.…

    Mitch Albom, author of “Mitch Albom: FBI vs. Apple about more than a phone”, builds an overall effective editorial that supports the readers point of view by fighting for the protection of our phone information. In this case, a man named Syed Farook, killed and injured several people, including his wife. The FBI believes that accessing information from his phone may be able to help them with their case. They order Apple to build a new software that will allow them to bust into phones by being able to guess passwords as many times as they want; as of now, someone can only guess a password 10 times before the information is lost. In court, the FBI fights that the law requires businesses not involved in the case, have to execute court orders.…

    Apple proves that being secretive holds power. The success of using the tactic of withholding information from consumers has been proven time and time again to phenomenally increase sales each time their product hits the stores (Kinicki & Williams, 2013). Whenever Apple comes out with new product people are filled with a strong desire to want to know what was made they scramble to stores to buy its latest gadget (Eadicicco, 2014). The power of secrecy is a good marketing strategy for Apple; they do not spend vast amounts of money like its competitors did on advertising. The business strategy's goal was to create mystery about their product line which results in massive crowds at retail stores and the end results equals high profits for Apple.…

    The argument made by David Morris in FBI Will Help Local Police Unlock iPhones is that now that the FBI has the ability to crack into the data stored on iPhones, the agency will utilize this capability in many situations, including local law enforcement cases and federal counter-terrorism cases. More specifically, Morris argues that there will be an increased number of iPhones that are broken into in order to investigate crimes. He writes, “The agency has since unlocked other phones, and, CBS reports, now ‘owns the proprietary rights’ to its unlocking method.” In this passage, Morris suggests that this technique will become a common tactic in law enforcement, and Apple, while improving the security of their products, has to take the government’s…

    For those unfamiliar, the FBI recently was found to have hired some of Best Buy's Geek Squad technicians as paid informants to track down and eliminate child pornography. For most this issue is pretty cut and dry; if the FBI wants to hunt child abuse/pornography then let them. But when you examine the consequences of this FBI policy you realize that there are a couple of constitutionally-questionable practices that compromises the integrity of what the FBI says they are trying to accomplish. For example, there was a case of a surgeon out of California who brought in his computer to Geek Squad for repairs. An employee ended up alerting the FBI after finding an image on the guys computer, but when brought to court to prosecute the judge threw out all charges because the FBI obtained this information without obtaining a warrant.…

    Apple and the FBI are in a dispute over whether or not Apple should unlock one of the San Bernardino shooters phones in order to obtain personal records regarding potential terrorist activity. Apple believes they should not have to disclose this information and unlock the phone because it violates their “terms and agreements”. However, the FBI thinks Apple should unlock the phone because it will let them retain vital and personal information about the shooters. According to CNN writer Mike Rodgers, “The FBI was unable to access the encrypted smartphone to map the terrorist's connections to ISIS…” The FBI asked apple for help but they refused.…

    Apple should not provide the encryption code to unlock the iPhone of Syed Farook- one of the San Bernardino Shooters. Though the U.S government is seeking this encryption code in the name of national security, this access to millions of American’s personal information can too easily lead to the compromise of people’s 4th amendment rights. Moreover, this access may increase the targeting of minority groups such as Muslim American and African Americans. Using examples from Rampage and The New Jim Crow, I will demonstrate that this breach of privacy should be avoided and prove that it is inessential to combating domestic terrorism.…
