Apple Vs Government

A constant worry with modern technology is our security with everyday objects such as the iPhone withholding so much of our information. Modern in apple products have worried people because of the inventions of touch ID, therefor giving out your finger prints, as well as apple pay which is a mobile wallet that has your debit or credit card information. Apple has been put to the test with what they will do to help the government recently, with the request to unlock a encrypted iPhone owned by a man connected to the San Bernardino murders who also had connections to ISIS who brings a national threat to our country. Apple immediately did not comply with the FBI’s request to build new software to be allowed to guess passwords to a iPhone unlimited times and because of that they have been in numerous law suits with the FBI. Apples CEO Tim Cook simply puts it "We do these because these are the right things to do". This decision to not comply with the FBI’s request is also because of the chance of that software that the FBI wants apple to build getting hacked and falling into the wrong hands. These law suits that have been forced on apple have caused other major companies such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Twitter to completely agree with Apple within the law suit. Apple is making advances to make their security harder for the government to get access but with the upcoming hearings within the law suits we will have to wait to see what is decided.
