Senator Tom Cotton is criticizing Apple for not obeying a judge and helping the FBI investigate the San Bernardino terrorists.
“Apple chose to protect a dead ISIS terrorist’s privacy over the security of the American people. The Executive and Legislative Branches have been working with the private sector with the hope of resolving the ‘Going Dark’ problem,” Cotton says in a statement releasde by his Senate office.
“Regrettably, the position Tim Cook and Apple have taken shows that they are unwilling to compromise and that legislation is likely the only way to resolve this issue. The problem of end-to-end encryption isn’t just a terrorism issue. It is also a drug-trafficking, kidnapping, and child pornography issue that impacts every state of the Union. It’s unfortunate that the great company Apple is becoming the company of choice for terrorists, drug dealers, and sexual predators of all sorts.”
