Take a stand against the Obama/FBI anti-encryption charm offensive
We either have encryption or we don't. The security granted by it is a respect to human decency. Giving it away is to say some one has power over your thoughts and actions. Of course we could resort to 3rd party encryption but giving the government a green light at all of our activities and actions is a very dangerous precedent regardless of the small percentage of bad guys that are apprehended. It will not stop here.

Sorry dude you are missing the point. Illegal or not is really not the issue. It comes down to trust in the system that you are using and whether or not it can be subjugated. You may be perfectly happy with letting anyone into your thoughts or activities but others may not feel so welcome. Criminal or not. They should have the right to prohibit access. You are only seeing things from the perspective of criminals. Profiling individuals is becoming so pervasive with social media. It would be nice to know there are some places where one can safely express thoughts without fear of being spied on. It's called decency.PhantasticOne said:So let me see if I can follow Apple logic. If I have a safe deposit box at the bank and keep the record of my illegal activities there, police can get a search warrant and force the bank to open the box. However, if I keep all of my illegal activities on an overpriced iPhone and encrypt it with the help of Apple, I'm in the clear because Apple, unlike banks, doesn't have to comply with any legal search warrants. I see this strictly as a marketing ploy on Apple's part that makes me feel far less secure than I did before. To me, it's just this simple....Don't do anything illegal and you don't need encryption. What did people do in the time BEFORE iPhones? Apple....The criminal's friend and confidant.
