Specifically, the government has compelled a technology company to 'assist' law enforcement by designing custom software that would disable security features on the phone to allow FBI access - and the ramifications of such a precedent could be tremendous. Technology, social justice and legal partners have come together to deliver a phone briefing on this ruling that helps social justice activists, technologists and others better understand what has happened, what it means, what will happen next, and what we can do. -- Joseph Lorenzo Hall Chief Technologist, Center for Democracy & Technology [https://www.cdt.org] e: [email protected], p: 202.407.8825, pgp: https://josephhall.org/gpg-key Fingerprint: 3CA2 8D7B 9F6D DBD3 4B10 1607 5F86 6987 40A9 A871 CDT's annual dinner, Tech Prom, is April 6, 2016! https://cdt.org/annual-dinner
