How much are we willing to show? We post so much on social media, displaying our whole lives for strangers to see. People can see into our lives through social media everyday. Can we really complain about people wanting to look at our info, when we put it out there in the first place? At the same time we have a right to what we want to post and what we want to keep private. This new system will protect that right. But if we have nothing to hide it shouldn't matter if someone wants to look at our history. This goes off of personal pride and your own limitations. I believe that people have a right to their own personal privacy, but if the government has a justified reason to search your phone then by all means they should. This is to protect the people. Ultimately they would not be searching for something if it was not there.

I think this is a pretty good decision made by apple to protect people.
ReplyDeleteThis could be a smart decision to protect the customers personal information and i find it reassuring that information cannot be hacked or taken from my phone. However, if a criminal were able to go under the raidar and use this new update in the wrong way, the government might not even notice and suspicious activity going on and there for not being able to stop them without a warrent.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. It's one thing to prevent hackers and criminals from accessing your information, but what happens when the government is looking for something but they can't get to it because of Apple's new policy? Hopefully future OS updates address this issue. In ways this is reassuring, but we as a society continue to put ourselves on social media and platforms that hasn't been done before, and obviously that affects our personal privacy.
ReplyDeleteIf the government can access someone's personal information, I'm sure a hacker can find their way in obtaining that information as well.
ReplyDeleteWith the government in our face with internet searching, this is a breath of fresh air. Too often we mistake security and paranoia, and hopefully this is a step in the right direction.
ReplyDeleteIt's relieving to know that big corporations like apple are respecting the privacy of their customers. I think this is a step forward in the right direction.
ReplyDeleteThis was probably done to calm the apple users. Considering apple as had some trouble with there security system and all these celebrity photos released.
