Facebook, Google and Microsoft contest order of ‘spying’ users.
Apple continues in the courts a legal war to try to catch the order received from Department of Justice. A California judge ordered the company to help the FBI to break the lock of an iPhone terrorists couple who killed 14 people in San Bernardino, last December.
Apple refuses to do so and has an ongoing legal battle to stop the initiative, claiming that the obligation to create a gateway on the personal data of their customers is a serious violation the duty to protect the provacidade. In a statement issued two weeks ago, Tim Cook, Apple’s leader, said even if it was creating a dangerous precedent:. “[This order] undermines the very freedoms that our government has the obligation to protect”
the case has aroused heated debate in America, and large technology companies have publicly supported Apple. But, says the Wall Street Journal, Google, Facebook and Microsoft go further and are preparing a joint motion in support of Apple in this legal war. The newspaper also says that Twitter is preparing a similar action, although it is unclear whether will join the motion of rival companies or whether to proceed with a document itself.
