Earlier today Attorney General William Barr called on Apple to unlock the alleged phone of the Pensacola shooter — a [Saudi national] man who murdered three people and injured eight others on a Naval base in Florida in December. Apple has responded by essentially saying: "no."

This is a bunch of whooie. The government can crack an Iphone. There's a boot exploit that can't be patched by software. They want you mad at Apple. I believe in strong encryption and not giving"the government" backdoors for devices or encryption, even if it makes a few bad apples.

One day hopefully you understand. I love my president but completely disagree what he's doing here.

Strong encryption is only strong if they can’t just break into at will depending on who you are.

Opening up and handing over Stone’s info, any of it, is completely biased and corrupt if they wont do the same for known terrorists.

Edit: So in effect, you’re right, they want us mad at Apple

I know a group of teenagers that could probably get into a iPhone, so I agree with you on the bunch of whooie part. But I'm pissed at how Roger Stone has been treated. Love him or hate him, it doesn't matter. They're showing how biased they are.

Dropped Apple like a microphone. I saw an email from Oathkeepers get deleted right before my eyes. Apple Cucks! You're being Curated out of your brains.

What’s this? What do you mean? Did Apple delete an email from your phone?

Yes, I saw it being deleted from my inbox. The only way I recovered it was to go to my mail folder and take a screenshot. The email was for Oathkeepers to attend the Gen. Flynn sentencing hearing at 333 Constitution Ave.

I went to the court to watch and a girl with a real or fake Russian accent followed me into Trump Tower.

This war will not go quietly. You Must know this enemy. Stop getting hypnotized by TV and Movies and you will clearly see who and where this enemy is.

What did Apple do to Roger Stone?

Yup. OP did not explain this and I don't recall AAPL offering any help to the feds in the Stone arrest.

For what? Splygle? At least Apple cares a little bit about privacy.

Apple gave them the iCloud stuff. Is there something else they provided on Stone that they are saying they can’t provide on the terrorist?

Competition is the answer for this craziness. Apple should not be able to assist the Democrats using power granted to them by special regulations. The President should direct the FCC to find ways to encourage greater smartphone competition in the USA so that a conservative, pro-America smartphone manufacturer can enter the market.

So take a hammer to your iphone.

Don't sell it to some poor sap on craigslist.

Just smash it.

Another reason I'm switching from Apple to Atari.

AtariOS+Linux for win baby. MacOS is so much bloatware.

Say yes to the 2020 VCS.
