Should companies have to unlock encrypted communication, if needed by law enforcement, in the case of a crime?

The F.B.I. has been trying to get Apple's help to "unlock" an iPhone used by Syed Rizwan Farook -- one of the two individuals who orchestrated the mass shooting in San Bernardino, Calif., in December. After Apple did not voluntarily offer assistance, the federal government issued a court order. However, Apple is refusing to comply. The company claims that it does not have the technology to "unlock" the device and will not develop the technology out of concern that it could threaten customer privacy. Law enforcement believes that technologies to encrypt or password protect devices make it more difficult to solve crimes and prevent additional crimes from happening. This case is reopening a debate over balance between national security and privacy.

What do you think? If needed by law enforcement, should companies have to unlock encrypted communication, in the case of a crime?

Beyoncé stole the show at Super Bowl 50 and made a major political statement in front of 112 million people by singing her new song Formation with a performance that featured dancers in Black Panther berets performing black power salutes and arranging themselves into the letter “X” for Malcolm X. The Guardian's Barbara Ellen called the #blacklivesmatter inspired song and video: "an education, if you will, on the black American experience, past and present." Needless to say, the performance got a bit of backlash.

ICYMI, Kendrick Lamar lit up the 2016 Grammy Awards. Nate Scott of USA Today described the performance as "a piece of performance art, a pyrotechnics show, and an outright challenge to white America." The performance started with imagery of prison, morphed into one out of Africa, and ended with the word Compton over an image of Africa. Lamar performed Blacker The Berry and Alright, a rallying song for the #blacklivesmatter movement, with new material that referenced February 26, 2012 (when Trayvon Martin was shot) a day he said: “I lost my life too … [it] set us back another 400 years.”

Better Obama roast?

During his 2011 White House Correspondents' Dinner speech President Barack Obama roasted Donald Trump. After hitting Trump on being a birther, he said: “We all know about your credentials and breadth of experience. For example—no, seriously—just recently, in an episode of Celebrity Apprentice”—there was laughter at the mention of the program’s name. Obama explained that, when a team did not impress, Trump “didn’t blame Lil Jon or Meatloaf—you fired Gary Busey. And these are the kinds of decisions that would keep me up at night.” Trump did not seem pleased as the cameras panned to him. However, he later said: “The time I got sort of roasted, I loved that evening..."

This week while welcoming the 2015 Golden State Warriors to the White House, President Obama roasted the team and singled out Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. "It is rare to be in the presence of guys from the greatest team in NBA history. So we're pretty lucky today because we've got one of those players in the house — Steve Kerr, from the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls!
