Before posting to this discussion, read the following case study:
Jayakumar, T., & Tahora, S. (2016). Building a backdoor to the iPhone: An ethical dilemma . Ivey Publishing.
After you have read the case, express your views on Apples stance and FBI demands using the questions posed in the case (Jayakumar & Tahora, 2016, p. 1):
Was Cook justified in his refusal to heed the U.S. governments demand to build a one-time access to the iPhone retrieved from the terrorists on the grounds of protecting customer digital privacy?
Was Apples obligation to protect customer privacy greater than its obligation to contribute to national security?
What dilemmas did Cook and the Apple management team face in this decision?
How could the dilemmas be resolved?
