Response To Terrorism

However, Tim Wu, instead of praising technology as an open independent well of information, in his essay “Father and Son” he criticizes companies like Apple that aims to restrict the freedom

The dispute between Apple and the FBI has been one of the controversial topics since the shooting in San Bernardino. The FBI wanted Apple to help “unlock” the iPhone; however, Tim Cook, an Apple CEO, refused to provide the assistance. Mr. Cook was right about doing so because of two reasons: customers’ important information must be protected, and the FBI’s order is a dangerous precedent.

In conclusion, there have been many stances took towards terrorism. Since the September 11, 2001 attack on the Twin Towers in Washington D.C, there have been more plans and rules for people traveling within, into, and out of the country. There have been additional securities at major United States traditional events. These events are the World’s greatest sporting events, marathons , political events and more. The armed forces have been increased and deployed to the duty of protecting the people of our country. Overall, the government has taken some great approaches in keeping its people

In recent years Apple has come under fire over their company’s views on the security and values that they hold. Apple is very focused on their customer base, they pride themselves on having a great security software program that is harder to hack, and software that protects their customers from invasion of privacy. December 2,2015 in San Bernardino, California a terrorist attack was made against innocent civilians. 14 innocent lives were taken in this attack; the terrorist were found to be using Apple’s IPhone. In New York, a high level drug dealer was busted, he was using an IPhone and claim he forgot his password. Apple has since then come under scrutiny from the Federal government to assist them, while many of their customers are backing

We need to continue to use these skills despite the sense of fear and hopelessness which terrorism engenders. This process requires a string faith humanity and a profound belief that all people in the world are worthy of safe communities and deserve the freedom to practice the religion of their choice. Freedom of religion and the ability to pursue happiness are foundational American principles. We cannot let our fear cause us to deny these basic rights to others. Of course, we also cannot neglect our own safety in the meantime. The issue of terrorism is a complicated issue than we can hope to understand. Therefore, it is important to strike a balance between respect for the civil liberties American citizens have always enjoyed and the safety of others around the world. We need to continue to support Homeland Security and the FBI in their efforts to protect us, while at the same time helping a watchful eye. One of the great things about being an American is that we can protest infringements on our civil liberties. We do not want to lose these civil liberties as the result of another serious terrorist attack because we have been too

Opposing Apple’s argument, the F.B.I emphasizes national security. With the disposal of the information stored on the phone, the U.S. Government could in theory prevent pending terrorist attacks. Regretfully, there is no way to ensure that the “backdoor” that would be used in this case, would only be used once. In his open letter, Tim Cook illustrates his regard to the plan:

In this article they talk about how apple doesn't want to give a back door to the government. In my opinion i think they should

And next in the news, Apple opposes judge 's order to hack San Bernardino shooters iPhone, calling the directive “an overreach by the U.S. government”. A public letter, signed by Apple CEO Tim Cook and published Tuesday, warns that complying with the order would entail building "a

I strongly believe that Apple is doing the ethical thing of not allowing the FBI to change their OS from what it is because it goes against people’s right to privacy. Yes, the intent is to protect against terrorism, but in reality, humans go too far when they have the ability to gain knowledge on something they are interested in. To elaborate, without

Once Tim Crooks (The Successor of the Apple Inc. ) stated to the TIME magazine

Apple and the government have been arguing back and forth on whether Apple should make a backdoor to hack into criminals phones. Apple has resources that the government doesn’t have and they're willing to acquire them even if they go to court. Apple wants to keep people’s privacy protected and they respond with “We oppose this order, which has implications far beyond the legal case at hand”(Cook). Apple knows that if they do this then people are going to mislead the product. Tim Cook wants to keep his product up and running because if he does this then many things will go wrong such as security problems, downfall of stocks, privacy issues. Apple is doing this to keep us safe and let us have our freedom.

Multi billion dollar companies, Apple and Google have brought the attention of security on their devices, by upgrading them 10 fold, basically changing it out for a military grade protection. Rendering it almost impossible for anyone even Apple and Google themselves to break in, hack, or even crack the code of any of their devices. Apple had stated, “as the new operating system becomes widely deployed over the next several weeks, the number of IPhones and IPads that Apple is capable of breaking into for police will steadily dwindle to the point where only devices several years old-and incapable of running iOS 8-can be unlocked by Apple” (Timberg). When FBI Director James B. Comey got an ear full of this nonsense, he struck back at the companys,

As for the FBI’s side, they believed that Apple should help them in response to this awful

Although companies are trying to appeal to consumers by promoting democracy, corporations are becoming a monopolizing power. This is clear as Apple, while originally planning to “Do No Evil” (Wu 534), ended up becoming a monopolizing company after teaming up with AT&T after the launching of the iPhone because AT&T is “the best and most popular network in the country” (Wu 534). Apple further monopolizes as it teams up with Duke University to ensure a “partnership of business and education” (Davidson 48). Although the original incentive of Apple was to try and create social

In order for the United States of America and its allies to live a life free of terrorist threats, they need to counter violent extremism and terrorism with swift and deliberate prevention efforts world-wide.
