Wasn't it "the law" also when they came up with the privacy claim around that terrorist case where the FBI needed access to a device?
I mean, in the end it's the same thing as the classic "I didn't do anything wrong, I've been following orders".
- saagarjha 7y agoThe FBI specifically asked Apple to backdoor that device, rather than handing over encryption keys that they already kept.
- simonh 7y agoI'm finding it difficult to parse what you mean here. In that case Apple successfully fought the FBI demand, within the law. Had the law required them to render assistance I'm sure they would have done so, otherwise they would have been requiring their employees to break the law. Under what circumstances do you think it is acceptable for a company to require it's employees to incriminate themselves?
- Krasnol 7y agoNot really, "appealed the ruling, but then dropped the case on April 22 after it was given the correct passcode". > Under what circumstances do you think it is acceptable for a company to require it's employees to incriminate themselves? Human rights violations should be more than enough.
