Blog #8- Obama won't use IPhone
Link
President Obama says that he cannot use a IPhone cell phone for different "security reasons". He currently uses the cell phone brand he had when he entered office- Blackberry. The company has recently lost a lot of its business to Apple and Android, but is now attempting to direct products towards large corporations and governmental officials.
This article might not seem very important, but it raises a lot of questions. If the president cannot safely use a IPhone then why do many Americans? According to Edward Snowden, the NSA has had access to records kept by communication giants like Google and Apple. More and more calls are being monitored since the passing of the Patriot Act in 2001. Is the National Government infringing on our civil liberties too much?
