FBI director: iPhones shields pedophiles from cops (Miguel Dones 6th)

Apple has just recently enhanced their user privacy. It works like this, " You send a text message that's encrypted on your device. It passes through Apple servers as jumbled code nobody can crack. And it can only get decrypted by your friend's iPhone passcode." This will make it harder for police to get access of your private information like text messages and emails. Many people are saying that this will help terrorists and kidnappers hide their identity and plans. The FBI still has access to your information but they now need a warrant to do so. In doing so, rapists or terrorists may be able to hide traces of their crimes because they'll know ahead of time that the police is on their trail. This new feature seems to have more negativities than positives and I hope Apple changes these features back to how they used to be. (Miguel Dones 6th)

    While I don't like the idea of terrorists being shielded it is nice to have some semblance of privacy after hearing about NSA's constant watch.

    I think it is nice to have the feeling of privacy in the new technology of today, but it is scary to think that we won't be able to decode messages from terrorists with plans that could harm the United States. (Myles Bennett)
