Apple protects its customers. Encryption that stops cops also stops criminals.
Uber is only protecting its profits. The customers are incidental to its blatant lawbreaking.
- nyolfen 9y agodo you think apple is motivated out of the goodness of its collective heart?
- mikestew 9y agoDo you propose that it is impossible to "do the right thing" and make a profit?
- letsgetphysITal 9y agoApple protects its profits. Encryption that enables privacy protections for consumers also stops cops investigating crime. Apple is not your friend and does not have your best interest at heart. It is a company like Facebook, Microsoft, Ford, Boeing... They all just want the money. If making hard to break encryption sells more units, then that is the only motivation.
- IBM 9y agoThere's no evidence that Apple's ideas about privacy or encryption have any positive effect on sales. The only people who might even be aware of it are tech people, and that doesn't move the needle at all. See the tech people gripes about the Macbook Pro, which went on to sell well anyway.
