While his Democratic rivals were having a debate amongst themselves, US President Donald Trump fired up Twitter and went after tech company Apple over the inability to unlock the phones of criminals.

United States President Donald Trump has lashed out at Apple for what he says is a refusal to unlock iPhones used by criminals while at the same time benefiting from government help on trade.

The encryption used on Apple's iMessages or WhatsApp's chats is what is called end-to-end encryption, where only the sender and the receiver have the necessary decryption keys to read the messages, rather than the platform holders having access.

So, basically, for being unable to defy the laws of physics (which is required to create a backdoor in an encryption scheme, and keep it completely secure).

He's also a 'killer' so yeah, unlock his first...

Ah, mr potato; don’t you know what encryption is?.

He really needs to go, he is just getting worse.

Apple have refused for one very simple reason. They can't. By design it can't be decrypted.

Apple is abetting with the enemies of America. Prosecute the Apple board for Sedition.

They can’t just unlock phones .. if they did, they’d just have to unlock Trump’s phone too ...hhhmmm

TRUMP SHUT DOWN SILICON VALLEY AND YOU WILL GET ANSWERS,APPLE AND ITS OLD ARMED FORCES BASE/S, LET ALONE WHAT THE OTHERS ARE DOING&THEIR PAID DISRUPTOR'S CAUSING HAVOC ACROSS THE WORLD...CORPORATE TERRORISM IS THE WORLD PROBLEM,OMNICIDING AU&MANY OTHER COUNTRIES,YOUR NOT SO SMART

All Apple phone can now be unlocked by Israeli company Cellbrite. And I have no doubt Law Enforcement and Government are already doing such things.

With access to all the smartest people in the NSA, CIA and FBI, has no one explained to the child in chief how encryption works.

I get privacy laws. But in my opinion when you break the law you loose all rights. The only argument would be that Innocent people's info might be on his phone as well.

They can't. Surprised he doesnt understand how encryption works? Yeah nah.

Unlock realDonaldTrump s phone first ! 🤡

A further attack against privacy. The vast majority of users don't deserve to have their innocent messages read. You can't have it both ways.

good on Apple for not undermining their users privacy.

Hillary used a hammer to unlock blackberries.

BooHoo

“Get Tim Apple on the phone”

It makes perfect sense but Trump said it so BOOOOO !

Laws are laws.

Woman who encouraged boyfriend to kill himself loses fight to appeal convictionThe US Supreme Court refuses to hear the appeal of a woman who used numerous text messages and phone calls to encourage her boyfriend to take his own life. She was lucky she only got 2.5 years. Telling someone to kill themselves once or twice can be put down to emotion. Thousands of times? I'm glad they found it criminal. This woman is absolutely disgusting. It's an outrage frankly that she got off so lightly. The audacity that she'd appeal is infuriating.
