Tim Cook: U.S. government wants 'something we consider too dangerous to create'
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2016/02/17/apple-ceo-the-u-s-government-wants-something-we-consider-too-dangerous-to-create/ Hours after a federal judge ordered Apple to help the FBI unlock the iPhone used by one of the shooters who carried out the Dec. 2 terrorist attacks in San Bernardino, Calif., the technology giant's chief executive declared that he would fight the government's "unprecedented" demands. "We have great respect for the professionals at the FBI, and we believe their intentions are good," Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a strongly worded open letter. "Up to this point, we have done everything that is both within our power and within the law to help them. But now the U.S. government has asked us for something we simply do not have, and something we consider too dangerous to create. They have asked us to build a backdoor to the iPhone." - - - = = = = Internet Political Trolls Collection Project (USA 2016): http://vortex.com/trolls = = = = --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: http://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com I have consulted to Google, but I am not currently doing so -- my opinions expressed here are mine alone. _______________________________________________ pfir mailing list http://lists.pfir.org/mailman/listinfo/pfir
