Phones should be searchable with a court order. If Apple or any other company insists on making a phone that cannot be searched with a court order, the congress will simply pass a law forbidding the sale of such devices in the USA (the same kind of law/regulation that exists for radio devices and interference). A consumer device should be "searchable with a court order"|"accept interference".
That's what Obama is warning about.
- rythie 11y ago"simply pass a law forbidding the sale of such devices in the USA" 1. They can't even restrict sale of guns, let alone ban them. 2. Banning the iPhone would make the issue headline news. 3. There'd be riots on the streets. 4. if they did, it'd back to the prohibition era, more crime, violence etc.
- lucio 11y agoReally? 1. There's no constitutional right to an encrypted phone. 2. No silly, they'll ban unbreakable encryption, and Apple will follow suit. IPhones will be searchable with a warrant. IPhones sales will drop an 0.0001%. 3. moot 4. Really? "No IPhones => more crime, violence"? is this the epitome of #FirstWorldProblem?
