My Thoughts on Apple vs FBI

I was asked the other day about my thoughts on #Apple vs the #FBI in regard to Apple unlocking the iPhone of the killer in the San Bernardino shootings.

I said that IF it's a single incidence of unlocking then they should help but that I doubted that the FBI would keep it at this single incidence.

I have since been reading that, in fact, the FBI has plans for many phones to be unlocked if Apple were to unlock this one phone. I also found out that the FBI doesn't want Apple to unlock the phone but wants Apple to write a program that will unlock it and give that program to the FBI. I also found out that the phone was unlocked the day the FBI got it and they were the ones who changed the password on it, effectively preventing Apple from recovering the data the FBI was looking for from the shooter's iCloud account.

I've seen people post that nothing is private anymore, that people have their whole lives online, that there are facial recognition cameras all over the place so why not have Apple make the unlock software and give it to the FBI?

Well, here are my thoughts now.
The FBI and the government would love to have access to all of our information, our cell phone data, our computer data, all of it; so would people who want to steal our identities, our bank account information, etc. By unlocking the security we have on our devices and technology, it opens us up to everything, and you can be sure that the government and hackers won't stop at just getting our profile information, like the things most people post online and share to the public. No, they're looking for ALL of our information and won't be satisfied until they get it.

The FBI had access to the shooter's information, until they didn't. It was their fault. What? They had it until they changed the password. The FBI have had people tell them that they can hack into that one phone if they just want that information but haven't heard back from the FBI because it's obvious that the FBI doesn't want the information from just that one phone but from hundreds of phones and then some. I feel a lot of the general population feels it's okay because it's a national security issue, but that's only one case. It goes much deeper than this one case. I'm not willing to give up that much of my freedom to the government.
