'Companies should be able to build the best security for their users that they can provide'
Since the news broke of the FBI request for Apple to unlock the iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino attackers, weve seen reactions from many horizons: tech companies, the FBI, victims families and, last weekend, President Barack Obama.
This case is attracting a lot of attention, and it should. Much is at stake. This is not about Apple, or the FBI or helping the bad guys. It is about how to achieve the best public safety for all Americans. Thats what we all want, and we all have our part in achieving that goal. As technology companies, we do it through building and deploying the best security measures available to protect users and the technologies that they rely on every day.
This is not about a single iPhone, either. This case is about the security and the trustworthiness of the technology that everyone depends on. In modern technology companies, we do not get to make decisions about one phone, or one encryption key or one users Internet browser. Instead, decisions we make about how to build our products have ramifications for hundreds of millions of Americans and people around the globe.

There’s no such thing as a safe backdoor?
Isn’t this the company who fired the guy who was not pro-gay.
Hmmm !

This is my problem with the case, which none of the MSM has reported.
The judge didn't order Apple to unlock this one phone.
The judge ordered Apple to build in a backdoor into all iPhones, essentially, unlocking to the FBI, any phone they choose to snoop into, whether they've got a warrant or not.
I back Apple on this one.

It’s perfectly safe for our government to have the keys to your phone.
Perfectly safe for our government.

This one's in no danger of that, I'd guess.
