A petition to the Obama administration has been launched by Matthew Kick that asks the government to “halt efforts that compel Apple and other device makers to create a ‘backdoor’ for the government to access citizens data.”
The petition reads:
The United States government has demanded that Apple take an unprecedented step which threatens the security of it’s [sic] customers.
The FBI, is demanding that Apple build a “backdoor” to bypass digital locks protecting consumer information on Apple’s popular iPhones.
We the undersigned, oppose this order, which has implications far beyond the legal case at hand.

I’d sign that, if only they correct “it’s” to “its.”
You want to be taken seriously by the suits, not dismissed as semiliterate bloggers relying on mindless spellcheck.
Good enough for government work 😉
SIGN IT.
Done!! #6964
Signed and spreading the word
√ Ideally, such a petition would not be necessary. But we continue to have a government that’s more interested in totalitarian control of We The People than it is interested in following the US Constitution, most specifically the Fourth and Fifth Amendments, which are directly involved in this illegal pestering of Apple to undermine our right to privacy.
I get the idea that playing at being ignorant of the law is not going to stop with pestering Apple. This is going to be a long, hard fight to maintain our US citizen rights. I tossed EFF, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, another $65 (t-shirt!) today in thanks for their pestering #MyStupidGovernment back again.
Signed it. About 7,000 signatures in 2 days; at this rate it should make the cut since it’s bound to pick up steam as more sites post about it.
I can only share it to my followers but hopefully many from the USA will read it and sign.
Signed with sadness.
Fuck that petition. Call your congressman.
I remember when the top petition on Obama’s little circle-jerk site was for marijuana legalization, and one of his press lapdogs actually asked him about it. Motherfucker just snickered.

Singed and shared…

Forget that. Let’s let this go to court, and another court, and the Supreme Court if necessary, so we can get a precedent-setting ruling that ends this crap for good. If the pressure backs off now, it’ll just come up again with the next case.
Is there a doubt in anyone’s mind now, about the government’s DOJ motives in the e-Book conspiracy fabricated actions against Apple – the government/ Amazon joint venture…?
Let Obama have his way. Soon he will regret it when his tools will be used against him.
