Re: California Wants to Ban Encrypted Smartphones

Haven't there been instances where hackers have even broken into government databases? I would have to assume that those databases are pretty highly "protected." If hackers can get into those, I don't see why they couldn't get into someone's cell phone.

Re: California Wants to Ban Encrypted Smartphones

So the only actual encryption on an iphone is the password? And if you have disabled the password requirement so that you can just go right into your phone each time, there is no encryption?

Re: California Wants to Ban Encrypted Smartphones

So for non-techie people like me, what the heck does this mean? Is my phone that I bought from Verizon encrypted? If a cop gets my phone, he can just look at what's on there without any fancy tech stuff happening. Just like I do every time I pick it up.
