Cook stated this in his interview. The government would say otherwise if that weren't true.
15:12
David Muir: You have talked to the President before on these issues [yes] of privacy and security. Are you disappointed there wasn't more of a dialog with the administration before this swift action from the justice department?
Tim Cook: Yes.
David Muir: You wish there was more done?
Tim Cook: Yes. And I think there should've been... We found out about the filing from the press. And, I don't think that's the way it should be run. And I don't think that something so important to this country should be handled in this way.

- sigmar 11y agoHmmm that seems to contradict the source the NYTimes used here: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/19/technology/how-tim-cook-became-a-bulwark-for-digital-privacy.html?_r=0 http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/19/technology/how-tim-cook-be... >Apple had asked the F.B.I. to issue its application for the tool under seal. But the government made it public, prompting Mr. Cook to go into bunker mode to draft a response, according to people privy to the discussions, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
- studentrob 11y agoBoth could be true. Like, they discussed it awhile back, Apple asked them to keep it private, and Apple's request was their last communication before the FBI filed. No reason for Cook to lie here, it'd just make the relationship worse.
- sigmar 11y agoYea, that's true. The nytimes source could be a gov't employee, which could want to represent Apple in a less favorable light.
