The exanalista CIA Edward Snowden and CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai, have defended Apple to the US government and the FBI by the court order requiring the company to unlock the iPhone used by one of the December authors shooting in San Bernardino (California).
Snowden, who is currently in exile in Russia, defended Wednesday in his Twitter account Apple’s right to refuse what you ask the Federal Bureau of Investigation, to ensure that “the FBI is creating a world in which citizens rely on Apple to defend their rights, and not vice versa.”
In addition, exanalista with leaks that exposed the extent of massive spying programs of the National Security Agency (NSA, for its acronym in English) US branded battle be “the most important technology event in a decade” and marred by Google that would not have spoken about.
Soon after, the CEO of Google tweeted that “force companies to hack could compromise the privacy of users.”
“We build safe products to protect information and give law enforcement access to data based on legal orders. But that is very different from requiring companies to enable the hacking devices and data. It could be a dangerous precedent, “said the manager.
According to the order issued by Judge Sheri Pym, Apple shall provide the FBI of “reasonable support” to enter the mobile, which means “hack” to deactivate the system security eliminates phone data if the correct code is entered after several attempts.
But the CEO of Apple, Tim Cook, said in a letter to customers of the company’s suggestion that the US government created the tool to unlock iPhone would be used only once “it is not true.”
“Once created, the technique could be used again and again in many devices,” said Cook, adding that would be the equivalent of “a master key able to open hundreds of millions locks, from restaurants and shops to homes. ”
“We oppose the order, which has implications beyond the legal case in question,” said Cook.
For its part, the White House argued that the order will only impact on that phone because it is not being asked the company to “redesign” their products.
The Department of Justice and the FBI “are not asking Apple to redesign or create a new ‘backdoor’ one of their products,” he said Wednesday at his daily briefing the White House spokesman, Josh Earnest.
The iPhone phone to the FBI wants access was operated by Syed Farook, one of the authors of the massacre, although it is owned by his employer, the administration of the County of San Bernardino, which you have already consented to the registration.
The device was found in the vehicle in which Farook, a US citizen, and his Pakistani wife, Tashfeen Malik, suspected supporters of jihadist group Islamic State (EI), fleeing the police when they were killed.
