Tim Cook Responds to the Court’s Order ⇥ apple.com
Tim Cook:
We are challenging the FBI’s demands with the deepest respect for American democracy and a love of our country. We believe it would be in the best interest of everyone to step back and consider the implications.
While we believe the FBI’s intentions are good, it would be wrong for the government to force us to build a backdoor into our products. And ultimately, we fear that this demand would undermine the very freedoms and liberty our government is meant to protect.
I can think of no other company taking such a strong and eloquent stance on customer privacy.
