Apple: Welfare authority in a corporate veil? - (22 Feb 2016)

Company

Apple’s recent refusal to unlock an iDevice of persons suspected to have terrorist links by the United States government set off as much a furore as it did debate. Apple rejected, and very publicly so, a federal district court order to decrypt the iPhone of a couple who killed 14 people in San Bernardino, California and are suspected by the FBI to have links to ISIS. Apple equated decrypting one device as enabling access to all other iPhones, which would domino into services provided by other tech giants. Why all of a sudden companies are being so protective of data held by them may be explained by the international exposure they face. No longer reliant on the American market, companies like Apple rely heavily on demand (and supply) from countries like China where hand-in-hand cooperation with the US government would likely spook users and incite governmental backlash.
