Privacy or Public?

 We live in a society where our cell phones are used for other important things rather than just for communication. Cell phones have evolved to be our paperless diaries, secrete room, and like a mobile safe. We keep everything on our phones, and we rely on the software to keep our privacy safe! However, the government thinks otherwise. Recently, the FBI attacked Apple and it’s consumer policy on privacy. The government is trying to get into an iPhone of one of the shooters from the San Bernardino shooting back in December, but Apple won't budge.

 According to David Lazarus, a reporter of Los Angeles Times, shares his agreement with the government. He believes that the government has the right to hack the iPhone in order for public safety. He used how the federal government was able to control the auto industry to demand for seat belts and airbags for driver’s safety, but that example he used is so irrelevant with the Apple case. The governments claims they only want to hack this one phone, but who believes that? I believe it is important to keep our privacy rights protected. Our smartphones holds personal data such as credit card and bank account information, Social Security and driver license numbers, and so on. I will be beyond terrified knowing that government was able to withhold and take over another one of my amendments.
