Lettura vivamente raccomandata. juan carlos* * *----------- * *In the wake of Apple v FBI, we need to address some uncomfortable truths* /A temporary truce has emerged in the raging battle between Apple and the FBI, but technology fragility and corporate power remain unaddressed/ Julia Powles and Enrique Chaparro Tuesday 29 March 2016 21.11 BST It has been a spectacular six-week showdown – the world’s most valuable brand, Apple <http://www.theguardian.com/technology/apple>, pitted against the powerful American agents of the FBI. Two titans of spin <http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/feb/28/fbi-surveillance-cybers...>, locked in a fast-moving battle over a dead terrorist’s smartphone. Now, as dramatically as it exploded, the FBI’s legal demand <http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/feb/17/apple-ordered-to-hack-iphone-...> that Apple help it crack the iPhone <https://medium.com/@thegrugq/feeble-noise-pollution-627acb5931a2#.fe9moeyrk> of one of the San Bernardino killers <http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2015/dec/02/san-bernardino-shooting-...> has evaporated – the agents hacked their way in anyway, assisted by a mysterious third party <http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/mar/28/apple-fbi-case-dropped-san...>.

The biggest issue is that both sides stand to gain a lot more from this battle <http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/21/opinion/sunday/in-the-government-vs-apple-...> than any of us <http://concurringopinions.com/archives/2016/03/a-social-theory-of-surveillan...>. With little relation <http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2016/03/the-digital-security-d...> to reality <http://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2016/03/attack-of-week-apple-imessag...>, and backed by a worryingly partisan chorus, the notoriously closed Apple is emerging as a champion of users’ rights. Equally worryingly, a government agency is claiming the power to keep to itself a tool that can potentially break security features on millions of phones, while earmarking a demand for further judicial or legislative intervention in the future.
