New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was left completely flummoxed this week by a new iPhone feature asking her for a three-digit PIN to unlock her device.
The congresswoman expressed her confusion on social media, complaining that Apple was asking her to submit "some sort of secret code number in order to open my device". She went on to say that she felt this kind of barrier to access was "extremely problematic", and suggested that Apple should "at the very least" submit her statement of purpose to her before requesting a PIN number.
Many tech experts expressed shock that the freshman representative was so taken aback by the idea of a simple PIN, but it does point to the lack of technical fluency that exists in Congress. Whenever something technical arises, AOC can surely be counted on to react in a disoriented manner.
