Ancora Apple vs FBI, ma da un altro punto di vista

We cannot trust our government, so we must trust the
technology
Apple’s battle with the FBI is not about privacy v
security, but a conflict created by the US failure to
legitimately oversee its security service post Snowden

The showdown between Apple and the FBI is not, as many now claim, a
conflict between privacy and security. It is a conflict about
legitimacy.
America’s national security agencies insist on wielding
unaccountable power coupled with “trust us, we’re the good guys”,
but the majority of users have no such trust. Terrorism is real, and
surveillance can sometimes help prevent it, but the only path to
sustainable accommodation between technologies of secrecy and
adequately informed policing is through a root-and-branch reform of
the checks and balances in the national security system.
