Clever maneuvering on Apple’s part, making its stand an issue of cosmic proportions: Public Relations bunkum. Eventually Apple will compromise in a way that appears to satisfy all concerned. I’d say it long had the means necessary for its own benefit. The whole thing is like gods fighting up above while we mortals look up in awe-ful ignorance.
Apple Schmapple, my android watch app just required me to allow it to track my location. It was the only thing it didn’t have already. The real argument is that there is only room for one anal probe at a time, and Google and Apple have their users’ assholes already blocked.
As even Hayden and others have pointed out, it ain’t just one I phone, it’s the court precident of opening EVEYRONE’s phone up, and it’s SECURITY, not just “privacy” which blw is NOT specifically addressed in the fourth amendment. If a warrant opens WAY MORE than just a single person’s papers and effects, it is NOT a “reasonable” search and seizure.
There is a “No” button.Power off. Don’t use an iPhone. Don’t post your private material on Facebook.People have exactly the same degree of privacy as they have had in the decades before these products were invented. Please spare me all the blather about “fighting for freedom” “rights to privacy”. We have those if we choose to exercise them. What on earth makes people think they were born with an inalienable right to expect every electronic device or popular app will come with an iron-clad privacy guarantee?
