Rights

Apple's refusal to comply to government demands to hack one of its
own iPhones - that used by the San Bernardino terrorist Farook - does
seem fated to become an important public policy  issue. I personally live
in Canada, but have dabbled enough on the Web to be on the developer
list of various bodies. Mozilla has just sent me a link to a video, and a request
to pass it on. It is the first of a series and deals with encryption.

Am I on board with the Apple team? Probably. But then I have been following
things in Franc which has been taken with la déchéance, whether terrorists
should have their citizenshiprescinded. That is where the scandal lies for the French.

I am a great fan of Apple products ( am actually writing this on a McBook Pro):
they are well-designed and reliable. A good proportion of the computerized planet
agrees with me. The phone in question belonged to Mr Farook's employer, but he
had the savy to disconnect cloud back-up two weeks before the attacks. Was he using
the product's confidentiality capabilities? It would appear that he was.

Apple won't be arguing from Mr Farook's rights. The issue is there nonetheless.
