Rome – In the clash between the FBI and Apple, the UN sided with the company, for the protection of individual rights. Cupertino forced to submit to a court injunction in order to help the FBI to access the iPhone’s contents belonged to a terrorist (Syed Farook, author with his wife Tashfeen Malik of San Bernardino massacre) you run the risk of violating rights of millions of people. It said in a statement the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Raad Al Hussein .
“In order to adjust a security problem with the data decryption in a case very precise, the authorities are likely to open a Pandora’s box – reads the paper – with implications that could be extremely damaging to the rights of man of millions of people, including psychological and financial. ” Greek mythology has it that Zeus, angry about the theft of the sacred fire by Prometheus and eager to punish the curiosity of men, gave a jar to a girl, the beautiful Pandora, recommending not to open it, and knowing that he would. Once uncovered the container, the world poured all the evils that we were content.
The question “security vs. privacy” is still so complex and decisive for the future quality of our digital lives that the same High UN High Commissioner for Human rights, in conjunction with the release of Zeid Raad Al Hussein, has launched a survey on the Apple-FBI story through its official Twitter account. Will remain online for a week and at the time (Friday afternoon of March 4) Apple wins hands down: the preferences since about 1170 gathered here, 71% is in its favor against 17% for federal and 13% undecided.

the iPhone as a Pandora’s box, then. On March 1, in its fierce opposition to “curiosity” of federal, Apple also received the comfort of the pronouncement of a judge in a case similar to that of the terrorist. Facing a drug case, the federal judge in New York James Orenstein resolved that the Justice Department can not force Apple to unlock an iPhone to allow its inspection.
Judgment went completely counter than the path from California judge Sheri Pym , who had previously ordered Apple to create an ad hoc software that would allow the federal access to iPhone. The verdict that had triggered the tug of war between the house of Cupertino, and federal and a great debate on the hierarchy of priorities is more important to the security of all or confidentiality of each? The giants of Silicon Valley have sided with Apple, with the exception of Bill Gates dissociation. On the other hand, Tim Cook and his grossed the authoritative stance of Michael Hayden , former director of CIA and Nsa : satisfy the demand FBI entail more and more implications for US security.
“ Jim ( Comey , FBI, ed) director would like to have a door at the disposal of the police service to access the cell. Frankly, I think that would damage the security of Americans, although it might make it easier Jim’s work under specific conditions, “he said a couple of weeks ago in USA Today the retired general, arguing on the basis of his experience at the NSA: “the problem is that, inevitably, even more would have access to that data. If you step back and observe from a distance question of the security of America, we are certainly a safer nation without the existence of the back door, which others would take advantage. ”
In front of the judge Orenstein, Apple’s lawyer also pointed out, as well as the media had argued, as indeed we can not speak of “the exception”, in individual cases, as advocated by the FBI because you can list at least a dozen similar cases. Doing her this position, the judge Orenstein showed that the judgment on “a matter of crucial importance for our society” can not be delegated to a tribunal, but needs the intervention of the legislature for “to best balance these interests.” Word, then, to Congress, where paraded Comey and the head of Apple’s legal department, Bruce Sewell .
“The FBI is asking us to undermine the safety of our products. It ‘just make our society less safe in order to solve a crime? ” the Sewell question before MPs. Comey has nevertheless warned the two conflicting judgments: it is necessary that Congress intervenes to adjust the collision between private and public security.
The same FBI director admitted the “mess” that occurred in the immediate aftermath to ‘terrorist action of San Bernardino on 2 December. Syed Farook was a public servant and mobile phone in his availability belonged to the County. The feds asked local authorities to reset the password for logging in to your iCloud Farook, where you keep copies of your phone data. But Farook had interrupted synchronization between iCloud and cellular October 18. If the password is not reset, you might have groped to start an automatic synchronization using the connection to a wi-fi network recognized by the phone. With the ability to get to the terrorist figures for the days and hours before the attack, apparently critical for the subsequent investigation.
