Tim Cook Demands That the White House Defend Encryption

This is the better link, rather than the aggregated stories link above. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;theintercept.com&#x2F;2016&#x2F;01&#x2F;12&#x2F;apples-tim-cook-lashes-out-at-white-house-officials-for-being-wishy-washy-on-encryption&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;theintercept.com&#x2F;2016&#x2F;01&#x2F;12&#x2F;apples-tim-cook-lashes-o...</a><p>It says in part: The White House should come out and say “no backdoors,” Cook said.<p>Umm, OK. But what about no frontdoors, i.e. mandatory key escrow?

In my eyes, Tim Cook has no credibility or rights to speak on civic matters until AAPL stops dodging taxes.

OK good, but is he also demanding China defend encryption? U.K.? If not, why not?

This is such a silly thing. Who really believes Cook. While Apple denied it, they gave access to their systems to the government. It was in Snowdens documents.
