Protests in California are spreading to Albuquerque, New Mexico, and all the way to Washington, DC in support of Apple against the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and the risk compromise to millions of user’s data.
Even Greer, campaign director for Fight for the Future, the organizers of these protests, said : “People are rallying at Apple stores because what the FBI is demanding here will make all of us less safe, not more safe, their unconstitutional attack on our digital security could put millions of people in danger, so we’re giving those people a way to get their voices heard.”
More than 30 demonstrations took place in cities such as:
• San Francisco
• Los Angeles
• Seattle
• Boston
• Portland
• Reno
Outside of Apple stores, protesters gathered wearing T-shirts and holding signs that read: “Don’t break our phones”.
A recent Pew Research Center (PRC) poll indicates that 51% of Americans say Apple should “unlock the iPhone to assist the ongoing FBI investigation”. In opposition is 38% of respondents who say Apple should stand their ground.
According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll , 46% of those surveyed said they agree with Apple’s position, while 35% said they disagree, and 20% were unsure of the entire situation.
Millennials more so than older Americans are in agreement with Apple. Sixty-four percent of 18 to 39 year old said they “agreed with the company’s decision to oppose the court order.”
The basic stance of smartphone users is that the US government should not “have access to their phone and Internet communications, even if it is done in the name of stopping terror attacks.”
Most agree that “unlocking Farook’s phone would set a dangerous precedent that authorities would use to force the company to unlock more phones”.
There is a general understanding that the American public will not exchange their “right to privacy in order to make people feel safer” and if the government is given the right to overstep its bounds “they are likely to do it again”.
Apple lawyer Marc Zwillinger revealed in recently unsealed court documents that his client has challenged at least a dozen recent FBI requests to unlock iPhones by various means. In reality, Apple is fighting against the concept that government has something more nefarious in mind.
