Apple plans to turn off USB data access if a device hasn’t been unlocked in the past hour. Police are able to use specialized equipment to get into iPhones at this time, but this change means they will not be able to use that same equipment. Personally I think this is a bad idea from Apple but of course Apple will say it's a privacy concern.

Good.

Apple just likes to thumb it's nose at anything law enforcement in the United States while they bend over backwards to work with real scum like China. Just another leftist tech company being complete hypocrites. Like when Apple was more concerned about the privacy of dead jihadists in California a few years ago. 

The right to privacy is protected by the Bill of Rights. It there to prevent the state from unreasonable search and seizure.

The Bill of Rites means Jack with modem day American Corporations,  online privacy is a pipe dream now days, Corporations would loose too much cash if consumers really knew what they give up everyday just being online, most Americans just look the other way, so they get their social media or online fix.
 
Common sense is dead, all hail the cybermen, "Meaning, most Americans are just educated mindless sheep/drones yhat knowing give up any will power to the cyberspace/Corporations"

Thank you.
 
From the very beginning I was outspoken about sites such as facebook. Too many people posting their personal information on the internet without rationalization. Only when they hear that their personal information has been used without their permission or in some other way compromised do they become outraged. Really? You morons didn't see this coming? Probably because they don't think through the distraction of posting that they're taking a dump or liking yet another inane post.
 
Privacy is an illusion, and on the internet it's non-existent. Now with the threat of global terrorism knocking on everyone's door this push for breaching will only intensify. Jihadists are a problem they allowed to flourish and now they need access to everyone's digital logbook to help rectify their mistakes. IF they're even making an effort in that regard. In Western Europe the self appointed governing body clearly left the general populace to die. But at least they have instagram!  :D

A lot of great points here so let me add mine to the bunch.

I'm kinda a privacy advocate and agree with this 1000%.  There are legal avenues that should be taken if one needs private info.  Anyone who disagree's with this just doesn't understand privacy nor do they care for it and those same beliefs shouldn't be pressed on others.  The "I have nothing to hide" get's tiring and only makes one look foolish imho.

For example in one instance, when Win 10 came out and I was flipping tables on their whole privacy and data minging, collection, etc.  I was called out in another forum by the misinformed masses and told, 'if you have nothing to hide what's the problem plus, no one's forcing you to use it'....... blah blah blah.  (MASSIVE FACEPALM)  I was criticing a product I've been using for at least 2 decades that had a pretty massive shift and I was being called out for it.  Mind freakin boggling. (Staying within ToS.)

As far as facebook, I know what goes on.  My settings are pretty tied down and sign out of anything.  Sure they see my clicks for advertising but that's about it.  No face recognition, blah blah blah is enabled on my account.  I use the bare minimum.  It help's being a tech savvy geek while the rest, sell the house, barn, bathroom pics, you get the picture....

The whole Zucky in DC and EU, shook things up a bit.  Maybe it was theater or those the bureaucrats had to at least act like they were doing something right for once.

As far as threats, I would worry more about hackers than anything else but that's not saying we should lessen the other threats either.  For example, Chinese hackers have been rampant on stealing IPs.  I'm sure they've got some military goodies from us.  How about those hacks in DC of all the fed employees during the BO years?  Didn't hear much after that or when corporations get hacked and decide to tell the public YEARS later and nothing is done.  Feels like the non tech savvy old folks are still guiding us in this ship but are clueless when it comes to the 21st century.  Time to get with times or we're doomed.
 
Just my $0.02 + $1.00 at this point.  

 
With a court order from a judge, Apple should just cooperate with law enforcement. In many criminal cases, that info is valuable to find out guilt or innocence. 

so much for privacy and self incrimination
 

a court has no authority to order an accused to self incriminate as protected by the 5th

The TSA effectively killed the 4th and 5th amendment in that respect.

You don't give up your Constitutional rights just because you decide to fly...sorry
 

The TSA is unconstitutional, it cannot take away a right

Ok one flying is not a right its a privileges, and your not giving up your rights, you are always at anytime allowed to say no I won't allow that and walk away. You won't be allowed to board a flight, but you never gave up your rights.

 
Sorry, a government institution implementing a search policy at an airport is incorrect...and should not be allowed.
