Apple admits, iPhone 5s Fingerprint Database To Be Shared With NSA

[emerglines]

Now-a-days, Apple is famous in the markets because its new iPhone 5S has a Fingerprint Sensor (Touch ID) as a security feature—everyone is getting amazed with that feature and eager to use.

That Fingerprint scanner has been hacked already by German Hackers group ‘CCC’ but one more thing to concern about that—’will Apple share that Fingerprint database with NSA’ and the answer is YES.

Tim Richardson, District Manager of Apple’s North America Marketing Department admits about the sharing of Database with NSA, he said to Jane M. Agni (A freelance writer in nationalreport.net.):

Absolutely the databases will be merged. This whole ‘fingerprint scan’ idea originated from someone in our Government. They just didn’t expect to be outed by Snowden, you know.”

NSA and FBI have been compiling a special database for over a year now to use with the new Apple technology. Fingerprints from all over the nation. Cold cases. Fugitives of the law. Missing persons, Richardson added.

When Mr. Richardson asked for a response to individual’s concerns about privacy, he told:

“Frankly, if a person is foolish enough to allow something as specific and criminally implicit as their fingerprints to be cataloged by faceless corporations and Government officials… Well, you can’t exactly blame us for capitalizing upon it, can you? Personally, I believe this effort will support a greater good. Some of the folks they’re hoping to apprehend are quite dangerous. Besides, it’s not like this is covered in the Constitution.”

If we talk about the constitution as Richardson added above, Apple and the NSA may be completely within their rights to use information volunteered by its customers but it is a Bitter Truth for some of the users.

Note to self - do not buy ANYTHING with a FP scanner. :pos:

[nIGHT]

They are not only contented about getting their customer's money but also they want to abuse it to anything they use it to earn more money.

What's next apple? Selling those nude photos stored in the phone/cloud to your clients? :o

If they had done this so then remote photo taking and video recording must be on their list too.

Be careful not to be in the nude when your phone is around or your cooking that secret recipe for dinner, they will steal that too. :P

Everyone should think twice buying apple and the likes of it. It's rotten btw! ;)

No, Apple hasn't said it will share a 'fingerprint database' with the NSA

Just because a right-wing 'satire' site writes something about the iPhone 5s, that doesn't make it true:
and the characters in quotes saying Apple will share data are made up

[insert bla bla]

Even so, you'd hope people who read such "stories" might think a bit. Or that they might even look at

other headlines on the site, and wonder if a site which has a story headlined "Apple iPhone 5s Fingerprint

Data To Be Shared With NSA" but also has one headlined "Packers Embarrassing Loss to Bengals Linked

To Green Bay Bridge Collapse" and "Taurus Firearms Company Introduces The New Trayvon PK-10 or

'Perp-Killer'" is entirely serious. (It isn't actually funny, especially the latter headline; if you're easily offended,

don't read the story that goes with it. But that's another matter.)

Let's recap what we do know about the iPhone 5s's fingerprint system.

These days everybody is a child pr0n smuggler or a criminal who murdered a school's worth of kindergarten students. No one's your average geek or your average Joe/Jane texting his/her friend/relative and uploading godforsaken selfies to Instagram/Facebook/Twitter.

And even if so, at least they would actually have some use for it if they gave it to the FBI/Police. Having fingerprints of people is always useful to solve crimes but i doubt that it would be the point of NSA, they just collect data for shit.

I really hope ppl don't take this at face value. The original source (National Report) is said to be a Parody site. You should read some of their other headlines:

1. MO Woman Possessed by Demon after Signing Up for ObamaCare

2. Analysts Forecast Drop In Holiday Spending As More Families Rely On Presents From Santa Claus

3. The Assam Rape Festival In India Begins This Week

Don't believe everything u read. Though I did have a laugh when I read "Pornography Found On ObamaCare Website". :lol:

EDIT: Mods, u should move this to another section, or ppl will start taking this seriously.

Guys, you would have to be a moron (Or Ambrocious) to think these quotes were real.

These were taken from a satirical news post on National Report (A site that does satirical/joke news reports) but then some dumbasses have shared in on social media as "real" news.
