📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses claims that the FBI should prosecute Steve Jobs for treason if Apple won’t unlock the San Bernardino shooter’s iPhone, in the context of a federal judge ordering Apple to comply while Apple argues that creating a backdoor would threaten everyone’s privacy. The key question raised is whether Apple should (or can) unlock the device given the privacy/security implications and Apple’s intent to appeal within the deadline. Overall sentiment leans critical of the “treason” framing and supportive of Apple’s position that the requested workaround would undermine broader encryption security.

Former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin told reporters the FBI should charge Steve Jobs with treason if he doesn’t unlock the San Bernardino shooter’s iPhone.

After a Federal Judge ruled that Apple must unlock the shooter’s iPhone, Apple said it will appeal the decision and has until Tuesday to respond. To unlock the phone, Apple would need to create a backdoor into their own encryption technology which could place everyone’s privacy at risk.
