This is the next blog entry in what will be an ongoing series as the battle between Apple and the FBI continues. This is one of THE most important legal battles in the history of the United States and THE purpose behind my book and most of my writing.
Folk's, I'm growing very tired of listening to radio and TV interviews that are all missing the point behind Apple's battle with the FBI. It is certainly about privacy but that is just the Tip of the Iceberg. Here is something for you to think about as NPR and others only put lipstick on the FBI pig!
About 10 to 12 years ago the government passed legislation to ensure that customers private, personal, and financial information, which is collected and manipulated by corporations, is to remain as secure as possible under penalty of prosecution.
Apple, in direct response to that concept, created an operating system that explicitly complies with the heart and soul of that mandate. As a result, Apple, itself, cannot even access that data on the person's device, a phone.
The government has now mandated that Apple violate that principle by writing code against that security which, after it is written, has no reasonable guarantee that such code would remain under the control of responsible users. The case in point is Edward Snowden, who the NSA thought would not violate the secrecy of the NSAs violation of data gathering without due process.
If the government (NSA) cannot protect its own dirty secrets (The Atom bomb, the Hydrogen bomb and so on), how will the government (FBI) protect the code they had the courts mandate to be written? How is Apple going to protect itself from prosecution when that release ultimately happens? Catch 22.
Even if Apple is not ever prosecuted does every United States citizen want to surrender all the data they store on their smartphones to the Russian mafia or the Chinese syndicates? This last sentence is something you won't hear any radio or TV interview mention!
The Internet is stalking you. It is useful but it can become your worst enemy. As you now know, governments and corporations around the world expend vast resources and expense to spy upon your Internet use, phone conversations, email, GPS location and much more. Almost every facet of our daily lives are being scrutinized. Thousands of identity thieves, hackers, and criminal organizations are watching your Internet activity and installing malware on your Internet devices. You need my writing!
