Here is some food for thought, on the FBI vs. Apple case about unlocking the San Bernardino shooters iPhone: It’s not only about your phone calls and text messages, it’s about your entire life.
An iPhone contains apps, surf history and search history that would crack open your private life completely in front of Big Brother.
In a text, Rick Falkvinge lists a few examples…
- What news articles you read, for how long, and in what order
- Your travel plans
- Your dating habits
- What you’re buying
- What you’re thinking of buying but didn’t
- Whom you’re in touch with but didn’t talk to
- What you were looking for more information about, and when
- What link(s) you follow, given a selection
- Your physical movement through cities, and within a city
- …the list goes on.
Is this really information that should be in government hands?
