The US is in debt up to its ears. I'll bet the Catholic Church has more actual money.
Silly! Privacy is for chumps. Where there is a will and money the will always be a way. Right now, the US Government is the wealthiest entity on the globe.

As for the underlying challenge, I believe if there's a law that depicts government (or any other legal/regulatory body) should be given access to contained data then the manufacturing companies should comply by by supplying a capability and demonstrating compliance on demand, it's not a case of wanting too comply or not for any ethical/political/personal etc. reason.
This is simple;
Government and/or companies should be allowed to hack into a device, if they can.
They should not be allowed to force a company to build a simple entry point for their convenience.
Security is what protects your life. The elected government is your security not Apple or any other commercial enterprise. You can't have money buying power. It's the people with their vote who decide. The government must have control then if you don't like what they do with it you vote them out. It's called democracy. Apple would call it a bad business model. Apple is way too big for its boots.
People are getting more retarded every time. If you do not want your information leaked... do not put it on electronic devices!!! DUHHHHHHHH You do not have to put pictures and stuff on Facebook. You do not need to have your bank account in your emails and stuff.
I mean, people are really mentally challenged these days!
Heck, Apple and the others have enough trouble plugging the holes they don't know about. Why would they want to add one that everyone would know about. Microsoft chief technical Ray Ozzie's idea might work in a perfect world. But then if it was a perfect world, we wouldn't need it. And if you really want to screw it up, then get the government involved.
Wasn't he the guy who ran the email service that Snowden used? When the government demanded ALL of the keys, he gave them a printed hardcopy (5 point font)?
I get a good chuckle out of the liberals here who demand security for their phone but not their country they live in. lol.
Everyone knows that terrorists and kidnappers need their privacy too!I'm glad that Apple is staying strong.
Microsoft makes by far the most OEM-spyware-infested mainstream OS ever, Windows 10. As if the original invasive features weren't enough, the OS even shows you ads now, and you know what showing ads means.I don't get it. Microsoft are part of the same group that Apple are a part of saying a loud, "No!" to any weakening of a user's security and privacy, yet there's twit from Microsoft called for a private key for each user to be held by a company so government bodies can get access?
What the hell?!
Explain why not.
What your asserting is that Apple already has a backdoor.Everyone knows that terrorists and kidnappers need their privacy too!
Except if Tim Cook's family member is every impacted by a crime, somehow, someway, they'll get into the criminal's phone.
And if you don't believe that you're pretty naive.
This is a common best practice. People who follow those usually wind up being a lot less sorry.lmaooooo tinfoil hat is so strong here

First of all, from the practical standpoint, I think guessing shorter passwords isn't a waste. Maybe it's just padding; guessing a 4-bit 1011 also counts as guessing a 6-bit 101100. And I'd think that's how it is. They're not going to create a different encryption scheme for every length password.You’re horrendously wrong on your math.
Let’s do a fun math experiment. Say a password field accepts 8-256 characters (arbitrary) and each character can be one of a set of 78 characters (26 capital letters + 26 lowercase letters + 10 numbers + 16 symbols). Assuming there are no requirements like at least one capital, etc., that opens up a total of 1.782 × 10^190 possible passwords.
Now say you know the password is exactly 11 characters. That brings the field of possible options down to just 1.693 × 10^81 possible options. Assuming they’re not lying, the field of possible passwords is down to just 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000009501% of what it once was. In other words, the job of guessing the password got
99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999990499% easier. That’s a bit more than 5%. The chances of guessing the password before security measures kick in remain low, but those measures are software and software is imperfect.
People do this all the time, and it’s one of the stupidest things you can do short of just giving out your password. It’s unfortunate.
I get a good chuckle out of hypocritical gun right fanatics who don't want anyone encroaching on their precious right to own guns but are so eager to give up their privacy.
You must know a different set of gun rights "fanatics" than I do (or more likely you don't really know any). The ones I know--like myself--are quite serious about intrusions on our privacy, particularly governmental intrusions.
Uh, who? "Gun nuts," which btw is a title one would self-proclaim, are the most privacy-conscious people I know of. I'd even call them paranoid. As for the guns themselves, they're right to want that private, but the other stuff is unrelated, as Rhonindk said.I get a good chuckle out of hypocritical gun right fanatics who don't want anyone encroaching on their precious right to own guns but are so eager to give up their privacy.
