Abstrakt: The case for digital information privacy has taken on new urgency for a 21st-century population reliant on personal digital devices. As smartphones and social media use become more ubiquitous, users must consider the security risks related to these devices and outlets. This article considers the legal “right” to digital information privacy, and the historical reaction of the American Library Association in cases of privacy protection and violation. This topic is considered through the example of the debate between Apple, Inc. and the Federal Bureau of Investigation regarding iPhone privacy rights in relation to the suspected terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California in December 2015.
