Justice Dept. says Apple 'deliberately raised technological barriers' keeping San Bernardino iPhone locked
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2016/03/10/justice-dept-says-apple-deliberately-raised-technological-barriers-keeping-san-bernardino-iphone-locked/ The Justice Department said Thursday that Apple's attempts at linking an ongoing fight over a locked iPhone to broader questions about encryption are "a diversion," pushing back against an argument repeatedly made by the company and its supporters in Silicon Valley. Federal prosecutors argued in a court filing that this fight is one of Apple's own making, accusing the company of having "deliberately raised technological barriers" that are keeping the iPhone locked. - - - Bull. Apple and other firms are raising technological barriers to keep criminals, terrorists, and black hat hackers out -- to protect law abiding users like you and me. --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
