Trump launches fresh attack on Apple over privacy:
US President Donald Trump has launched a fresh attack on Apple.
He tweeted that the company was refusing to unlock iPhones "used by killers, drug dealers and other violent criminal elements".
On Monday US Attorney General William Barr accused Apple of not being helpful in an inquiry into a shooting that is being treated as a terrorist act.
It is the latest in a series of clashes between the White House and technology giants over access to data.
Mr Trump accused Apple of refusing to co-operate with investigators despite his administration helping the company on trade and other issues.
The president's comments came a day after Mr Barr said Apple had failed to provide "substantive assistance" to unlock two iPhones in an investigation into a fatal shooting at a naval base in Pensacola, Florida.

Not Ron Paul. He said he chose republican because they at least still pay lip service to the constitution and freedom. But yeah, most of these people are in the same gang (Romney, Kerry, Pelosi, Biden).

So Republicans "paying lip service" (aka "lying") makes it okay.

Where do you see that? I have never voted for a republican or democrat in my life, and never will. So if you are reading that into my post it is your own projection.
