Apple CEO Tim Cook calls for a committee of wise men, which now maps the consequences of any hack request of the government or where national security or the personal freedom of a citizen is affected. This he said in response to the fuss that arose after Apple last week refused to unlock the iPhone from one of the perpetrators of the attack in the US San Bernardino
De judge ruled in Los Angeles that Apple should cooperate so that the FBI for his research has access to the phone records of the perpetrator. But according to Cook is the subject broader than just this case and it is about “more than one phone and one study. He wrote Monday in a letter to its employees, which is owned by Reuters. “So when we received this order from the government, we knew we had to decide on this issue.”
explanation of personnel
A committee of wise men must have in this dispute between Apple and the FBI outcome. Cook it wants to cooperate, according to a post on Apple’s Web site, where the company in question and answer explains why it objects to unlock the corresponding iPhone. In the letter to his employees Cook wrote: “The security of the data from hundreds of millions of people who worship legislation is at stake and creates a dangerous precedent which threatens the freedom of every citizen.”
Rear doors
Apple’s plea Monday was supported by Huawei, China’s largest supplier of communications equipment. Richard Yu, director of the Division of Consumer Affairs of Huawei, said at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona that “is essential for smartphone privacy for the consumer industry. It is very important that we agree on this.
Google and Facebook chose last week even though the side of Apple and its refusal “to hack their own customers.” The companies are fiercely against mandatory “back doors” that governments – but also possibly criminals – can access a mobile phone

That Huawei Apple now supports is also notable because the telecommunications company was accused earlier self to close ties to the Chinese government. The closed, unlisted nature of the business and the military background of founder Ren Zhengfei sparked by the US government this presumption. Huawei itself has always denied the existence of such links.
In the US, however, there is also a group of citizens who do not support Apple . They think security is more important than the privacy of a terrorist. Jeffrey Ullman, a professor at the American University Stanford, said a week ago, for example, in this newspaper that government agencies terrorists should identify with “every tool available for that,” in order to ensure the safety of citizens.
Fairy Tale World
the United States on Tuesday some planned protests at Apple stores, the German newspaper Handelsblatt reported. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has during a performance in South Carolina last week called for a boycott of Apple, “as long as it displays the information to the company.
Trump said that Cook” probably trying to make a great song to show how progressive it is. Apple would now have to take. ” According to Trump ‘Cook lives in a fairytale world. I would address him so hard that he did not know what hit him. “
