These email/phishing attacks are quite common. The company I work for has come close to falling for this. Luckily they contacted me prior to investigate. We receive variant attacks like this about 6 times a year.
This article is about the All Writs Act being used 63 times to force unlocking of phones. You either didn't read the article, or are to simple to understand that this is entirely relevant to technology. In fact slashdot has a section dedicated to your rights online. If this doesn't belong here then why would they have a YRO section? Your ID# indicates you haven't been here long enough to learn how to read the articles, or know that people on slashdot actually do care about rights and liberties getting eroded around technology. Perhaps many of them have moved on to elsewhere, but if it sort of content doesn't interest you either learn how to set up your feed list or go back to endgadget with the rest of your ADHD consumer tech fanboys.
Do you feel bad for shovels when people use them to dig? Your mind is pattern matching humanistic traits and applying them to a smarter shovel in a sense. I too feel bad. Thats just a neo cortex lingering issue.
(1) Design of features and systems configurations. This subchapter does not authorize any law enforcement agency or officer—
A) to require any specific design of equipment, facilities, services, features, or system configurations to be adopted by any provider of a wire or electronic communication service, any manufacturer of telecommunications equipment, or any provider of telecommunications support services; or B) to prohibit the adoption of any equipment, facility, service, or feature by any provider of a wire or electronic communication service, any manufacturer of telecommunications equipment, or any provider of telecommunications support services.
(2) Encryption
A telecommunications carrier shall not be responsible for decrypting, or ensuring the government’s ability to decrypt, any communication encrypted by a subscriber or customer, unless the encryption was provided by the carrier and the carrier possesses the information necessary to decrypt the communication.
A large section of Apples argument against the DoJ is that the FBI wanted these powers and they were refused under CALEA by congress.Then they asked for the powers to be granted under CALEA II, and then a third CALEA attempt. They have been refused this power previously. This is a direct effort to avoid congress and hope to get a judge to set a precedent because they failed repeatedly to get a law to pass.
That is not even remotely how law works. Legal interpretations come from lawyers and the judge weighs how they apply those legal interpretations to the law. Nothing in any language is cut and dry and "just all fits" In this case there are tens of cases regarding the all writs act and tens of case around CALEA. Nothing is identical, so lawyers and judges interpret how to apply or not apply a law.
iMessage and FaceTime are communications, which are central to the use of an iPhone. Which part of those falls outside of communications? What else would you categorize the daily 50 billion or more of communications messages and voice/video calls they handle annually?
They did iot before when it was a different operating system that was encrypted in the same way. So has Apple done this before for an iPhone with the same version of iOS on it? The answer to that question is the relevant one.
When there is no consequence to failing to meet the low income broadband and other conditions, then there really are no conditions whatsoever on the merger. So this is a win for industry consolidation and competition shakedown.
There were centuries where lobbying wasn't considered free speech. Now that corporations have gotten it to be considered protected the solution set is limited. We can either stop lobbying in it's tracks, or to place a serious cap on amounts from an entity or single person. Corps are 1 entity, and cannot contribute more than an individual person. The third alternative, leave things as they are is to me not a viable approach if citizens are to have a voice.
The political party structure is a equally appalling, That the popular vote doesn't mean a thing is one of the primary reasons people are losing faith in their parties and the government as a whole.
Not many countries will argue. they want in just the same. The gov't will get privacy respecting hardware that only they can own, you know because security matters.
Except the decision of a corporation isn't a group act. If given a choice in any company there would be dissent on the lobbying and other political choices made by the board. There is no collective think in a corporation, and employees of said companies shouldn't be forced to give voice to lobbying they don't agree with.
Corporations should have rights. To solve for their excess of power, lobbying by corporations should be banished, and replaced. The people at the company should have to use their personal funds and not corporate funds to push their agendas. Those funds should be severely capped.
Slashdot Mirror
The US will be implicated quite heavily in the 2.6 Tb of data. Not being singled out in the first wave is not a signifier of being free from guilt.

We used wooden mallets back then you insensitive clod!.

People want an iPad, with very few exceptions. Most people do not just want a tablet, with reasonably few exceptions.
We get it you like Apple. Is it offensive to you that others are trying to discuss where the 20% loss in sales originates?
Why did the sales in iPad's drop 20% year over year? Maybe leaping out of the pack only means so much to people who aren't you?
Hopefully you have arms like plastic man that stretch to match the distance of the keyboard.
APPLE does not have to comply. Civil Disobedience.

Why would the FBI have the right to demand Apple turns over its encryption /signing keys and passwords? That is self incrimination in a sense.

So no updates under any circumstances? Sounds less than secure.

Except for the government has tried very hard to not afford bloggers the protections conferred to journalists.

Whilst you are theoretically correct, actual nor, like whom, are largely extinct in the English spoken today.
FYI: So is "whilst".
