Tim Cook once again confirms the solidity of their positions, 51% of Americans support the FBI

The intrigue of the decade as it has already managed to baptize Snowden associated with Apple incident vs FBI continues to grow some new details. According to Tim Cook, as expressed on Wednesday in an interview with ABC's "requirement for the US Department of Justice to Apple's assistance FBI hacking into the iPhone will cause harm to America." In his characteristic manner figuratively formulate thought Cook compared the proposal of the authorities to crack the mobile phone in an attempt to spread the "cancer virus in the software industry."

By the way, almost simultaneously in the New York Times has posted a publication which stated that Apple is developing a more perfect system of personal data protection, which will be impossible to crack the methods by which the FBI hopes to use in the event of a dispute the victory.

As previously stated Cook, he intends to continue to challenge the FBI's claims, stressing that the company and so the authorities provided all the data related to the investigation of the crime. The CEO acknowledged that the incident is extremely controversial and find a middle ground in the dispute with Apple the authorities will be very difficult.

"Backdoor - is not what we want to create, - he said. - It would be bad for America and established a precedent which, in my view, infringe the rights and interests of many American citizens. I am confident that the company security - the safety of our children and families, protection of their personal data is extremely important. Any bids on this issue, I believe, are able to affect the most vulnerable places of the society. "

As reported by Reuters, Cook will discuss the nature and possible consequences of the incident personally with US President Obama.

How America sees itself?
poll results conducted Pew Research Center from 18 to 21 February 1002 among adult respondents showed that slightly more than 51% of them are inclined to think that Apple needs to meet the FBI and to assist the Office of the iPhone unlock. 38% of the total number of respondents took the side of the company and 11% of a clear position regarding the incident is not formed.



Generalized
Statistics

refined statistics based on age categories, political affiliation, education, etc. The

Respondents that support Apple's dispute with the court, the White House and the FBI in the main agree with Tim Cook, reflected in his open letter last week. In particular, the 55-year-old from Ohio Appraiser Steve Clevenger, representing the side of the "protection" stated, "... I do not consider it right to give up the right to privacy in exchange for something to feel more secure".

A survey conducted among iPhone owners, determined the 47% in favor of cooperation with the FBI, and 43% against. these figures were, respectively, 53% and 38% among owners of other smartphone manufacturers. If we talk about the overall statistics among smartphone users (regardless of the model and manufacturer), then 50% agreed with the FBI and the opinion of 41% - the company's opinion.

Anyway, given the results like a litmus test demonstrated the major concerns to limit electrified society, and here, in view of the presumption is actively developing a global terrorist threat, the question: "Why !?", again, should be addressed to the Government. And with the inviolability of confidential information as is considered most Americans, you can still wait.
