In its final briefing before a court showdown next week, Apple said,
"The court must consider the national debate surrounding the issue of
mandating a backdoor or the dangers to the security and privacy of
millions of citizens. According to Apple, the government also believes
the courts can order private parties "to do virtually anything the
Justice Department and FBI can dream up. The Founders would be appalled."
In response to the government, Apple said, "the catastrophic security
implications of that threat only highlight the government's fundamental
misunderstanding or reckless disregard of the technology at issue and
the security risks implicated by its suggestion." According to
TechCrunch, Apple made an interesting change in its strategy in the
court on Tuesday. From its article, "The tone of today's filing and
subsequent call was much more cold and precise. Apple got some time to
consider the best way to respond and went with dissecting the FBI's
technical arguments in a series of precise testimonies by its experts.
Where the FBI filing last week relied on invective, Apple's this week
relies on poking holes in critical sections of the FBI's technical narrative." Edward Snowden also made a remark about the hearing. He tweeted, "Today I learned that "#Apple has way better lawyers than the DOJ."
