1. Who are the stakeholders in this and how might they be affect by Apple's decision? The primary stakeholders include:- - Apple's Customers: Their privacy is at stake. If Apple complies, this could set a precedent that may comp;romise the privacy and security of millions of users, not just the individual in question. - The FBI and Law Enforcement: They require access to the iPhone to prevent potential future attacks and enforce justice. = Terrorism Victims: Victims and potential future victims of terrorism could be directly affected if the phone contains critical information that could prevent another attack. - Apple as a Company: Apple's reputation for protecting user privacy could be compromised, which may lead to a loss of consumer trust and market value. - The General Public: They are affected by the potential for increased security risks if encryption is weakened, but they also benefit from the possibility of preventing future terrorist attacks. - Government and Policymakers: Their ability to enforce laws and protect national - security is at stake. 2. What decision benefits the greatest number of these stakeholders? Applying utilitarianism means choosing the action that results in the greatest good for _the greatest number of people. Apple could argue that refusing the FBI's request protects the privacy and security of millions of users, as creating a "backdoor" could be exploited by malicious actors in the future. On the other hand, complying with the FBI could prevent future attacks, saving lives. In this context, utilitarianism might suggest complying with the FBI's request to prevent potential harm, as it could benefit a large number of people by averting future tragedies. However, this comes at the expense of weakening privacy protections, which could harm ~ a broader population in the long term. 3. Do you agree with the decision that utilitarianism leads you to? Why or why not? Whether you agree with the utilitarian outcome depends on your value system. If you _ prioritize security and believe that the potential to save lives outweighs privacy concerns g - - : then utilitarianism would lead you to agree with complying with the FBI. However, if you believe that protecting the privacy of all users is a higher priority, especially given the potential long-term consequences of compromising encryption, you might disagree with the utilitarian outcome. 4. Does applying the test in Rights and Duties or Fairness and Justice lead youto a dif'fgrent answer? Applying **Rights and Duties** (deontological ethics) would focus on Apple's duty to protect its customers' rights, particularly their right to privacy. From this perspective, Apple has a moral obligation to refuse the FBI's request because creating a backdoor would violate its duty to protect the privacy of all users. **Fairness and Justice** emphasizes treating all individuals fairly and equally. This could support a decision to refuse the request, as creating a backdoor for one case may unfairly compromise the security of millions of other users. This framework might lead to the same conclusion as Rights and Duties, diverging from the utilitarian conclusion. Reference Ethics Unwrapped. (n.d.). *FBI & Apple: Security vs. privacy*.
