Michal Marek As so far the last of Apple's closest management, k the highly debated case of Apple versus the FBI voiced by Eddy Cue. The he spoke in your native Spanish for the server Univision. Cue's reasoning for Apple's refusal to comply with the FBI's demands is of course not surprising. Creating a backdoor to iPhone encryption to access the contents of the iPhone of one of the San Bernardino killers would be an impermissible aid to hackers, he said.
Apple under Tim Cook takes privacy seriously and presents it as a full-fledged "product" of the company. The current case is therefore a test for the company, whether it means its words seriously, and at the same time a perfect opportunity for effective PR. So they have already commented on the case Tim Cook i Craig Federighi and now Internet Services Chief Eddy Cue continues to explain Apple's decision. A sign that Apple really cares about the communication of this issue is the fact that after Cue's performance, Apple itself brought a translation of the entire interview in a flash.
"The government requires more security than anyone else," Cue said in an interview. “The Secretary of Defense (Ashton Carter), who oversees the NSA, wants encryption to become more and more secure. He knows that if we create a way to get into encrypted data, criminals and terrorists will get into it. Nobody wants that.” So the FBI wants to follow Apple in strengthening encryption, but at the same time maintain access to data when needed. But these two concepts cannot coexist. “You either have security or you don't,” adds Cue.
A man from Apple's management pointed to more than 200 cases from the American capital of New York, in which the authorities after Apple wanted the company to make data from the phones of suspects available to them. "These are not cases of terrorism, everything is possible here. Where will it end? In case of divorce? In the case of immigration? In a case involving the payment of taxes?”

His fear of what The FBI wants Apple, is further enhanced by its origin. Cue's parents came to the US as Cuban immigrants. “My parents came to the United States to have their personal freedom and democracy. This is a very serious case of what the government can do, and giving the government that much power is not a good thing.”
Cue has a clear answer to the argument that Apple's resistance to an order to crack encryption and share data from the San Bernardino killer's phone with the FBI is helping terrorists. "This must be seen as a fight by Apple engineers against terrorists and criminals. We are not protecting them from the government. We want to help.”
Apple is willing to let the case go all the way to the Supreme Court, but Cue recalled the company's demand that Congress decide the matter. According to Apple management, this is a case that affects every citizen of the country. It is therefore not a classic dispute between two parties, which is decided by an impartial judge. Apple's rhetoric is that this is a national debate to determine the direction of the free democratic society of the United States.
Cue then illustrated the danger in the form of government access to data from citizens' phones with other serious arguments. “The government has lost over five million fingerprints of government employees in recent years. They lost hundreds of millions of payment card numbers from the databases of financial institutions. This problem is becoming more common and the only way to protect yourself is to make your phones more secure.”
