Microsoft demanded on Thursday the Department of Justice to prevent the authorities taking emails and other customer data stored by the company without haberselo made known at any time, an intensification of a fight two years with the government on privacy and cloud computing.
Friday Apple plans to continue its fight to keep the government away from other iPhone (in this case seized from a drug dealer in a case Brooklyn, just a few weeks have elapsed since the FBI abandoned its effort to force Apple to force one used by a terrorist who, along with his wife, killed 14 people last year in San Bernardino, California).
While these court cases have added momentum leading the offensive against the technology sector government intrusion into the private customer information he began at least two years ago after revelations of Edward Snowden on the covert data collection put all defensive.
Some US lawmakers want, meanwhile, require companies to enable researchers to access data even if they are protected by encryption.

solution to the controversy?
is unlikely that the controversy will be resolved soon because Microsoft and Apple argue that it is at stake is the very future of mobile and cloud computing if customers can not trust that your data will always be private.
While researchers look for digital tools that can help them fight criminals increasingly sophisticated and terrorist adept at using technology to communicate and hide their tracks.
“companies are trying to find a way forward in a world where the law is not very good” said Greg Nojeim, senior adviser at the Center for Democracy & amp; Technology.
“The law does not provide the same protection in the digital world it provides the physical world. Ensure those protections is good for both your users and your balance “Nojeim said.

A decision on the matter could help to establish who has the current law on their side in future court battles over privacy and encryption.
The technology company is scheduled to release its response to the government’s appeal of the ruling of the magistrate.
The Justice Department said earlier this month that it would proceed with the procedure, despite having abandoned its demand that the company lend your help to open the phone handle in California, after a third unidentified he presented a method to force.
The FBI director James Comey has said that this method only works on certain categories of phones, and Apple has said its continuous improvements in technology are likely to make any tool the government to open phones have short life.
