Assignment:
Part I. Apple v. the FBI (75 Words)
In December 2015, the FBI seized the iPhone of one of the two suspects behind the terrorist shooting in San Bernardino, California (14 people killed). The hope is the phone might reveal information regarding what lead up to the shooting and who was involved. The problem is encryption technology on the phone is blocking the government from accessing its contents. A federal magistrate judge has ordered Apple to write a custom version of its software that would help investigators unlock the phone, but Apple is fighting against the order.
The legal standoff playing out between Apple and the FBI has reignited the debate over privacy and national security. Some would say it is the company's duty to assist the FBI in this investigation, especially since terrorism is involved. Others say this is only another step closer to the government taking away American's right to privacy. Which do you agree with? Why?
Include the following...
Give an overview of the San Bernardino case and the events that have led up to the court battle between the FBI and Apple. Finish with your thoughts on whether Apple is justified in their fight against the FBI.
