DOJ Accuses Apple Of ‘False Rhetoric,’ Asks Court To Uphold Order To Unlock Terrorist’s iPhone
The Department of Justice has fired back at Apple and the technology industry’s defense of its encryption technology, arguing that the company has falsely framed the court order as a threat that could “lead to a police state.”
The DOJ submitted its 35-page report in court Thursday, maintaining that it has the authority to compel Apple to unlock the iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino, California, killers, Syed Rizwan Farook, and that its request is “not unreasonable” for the manufacturer to comply with.
