As the rise of power for Apple and their rise for demand of their products, it seems that there have been misconception and problems with the federal government and Apple. It seems that the Federal Government is blaming apple for a mass shooting in San Bernardino, California. The reason why the Federal Government is fighting with Apple is because an Iphone was used in the mass shooting. Apple has opposed a federal court order stating that they will not help law enforcement to break into an iPhone. The reason why Apple does’t want to help the U.S. government is because it will be a violating of privacy to the user. The Chief Executive of Apple Tim D. Cook had a shareholders meeting(mostly made of investors) The meeting went well while some of the shareholders stated that we should help law enforcement break into an iPhone security program. Apple has said that the government is stepping over their bounds and quite frankly, i do agree with that. We all like our privacy and well if the government knows how a security software is hacked in an iPhone, then they can access all our data. I like the idea of more companies backing up Apple in this confrontation with the U.S. Government because it shows that they are willing to fight for the right of privacy not only for them but for their customers. But i think we all have an idea why. Companies like to make money, and how else is a better way than telling them that you will fight for their privacy. It makes me laugh because Apple is probably doing that right now. Mr.Cook actually said that the new products of Apple come with the latest and best security software they have. I understand the circumstances that Apple must be in right now, and i myself am a Apple product consumer and i would hate if the U.S. Government actually could access my information any time they want, while they say its just a one time thing, they already know how to unlock and iPhone and they will keep on doing it.
