| US media groups sue FBI over hack of San Bernardino shooter's iPhone |
| 2016-09-17 |
| [DAWN] Three US news media groups filed a lawsuit Friday to get the FBI to release details of how it hacked the iPhone of the man who with his wife shot and killed 14 people in San Bernardino last year. The Federal Bureau of Investigation said it wanted to access Syed Rizwan Farook's locked iPhone 5c to look into possible links to the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group, but phonemaker Apple refused to help, citing privacy concerns. Gannett -- USA Today's parent company -- the News Agency that Dare Not be Named and Vice Media are suing to obtain details of the mysterious hack that rekindled a national debate ... an expenditure of personal wind at the national level that leads to face-making and other histrionics but can't be shown to have ever solved an issue ... on communications encryption and privacy protection. Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik killed 14 people at a holiday gathering in San Bernardino, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, in December. They were also killed by police after a chase. The federal law enforcement agency took Apple to court in February to compel them to help, but dropped the suit weeks later after hacking the phone with third-party help. The FBI has yet to name the outside party or the cost involved. |

| #1 Perhaps a lawyer in the crowd can enlighten us, but I don't see how the media jackals have any standing to sue. Yes, I know that doesn't rule out a virtue signalling/grandstanding lawsuit. But that would get tossed on Day One. Unless you get a sympathetic judge... |
