Now we know where Obama stands on the Apple vs. FBI case

Techinsider:

Speaking at the South By Southwest conference in Austin Friday, Obama gave his view in general terms about where he stands on phone encryption and the right to privacy since he can’t comment on the Apple/FBI case specifically. But his stance can easily be applied to the FBI’s demand that Apple create a new version of iOS to unlock the iPhone that belonged to one of the suspected shooters in the San Bernardino killings.

In short, Obama thinks tech companies should create a way for law enforcement agencies to access locked devices, assuming they have probable cause for such access.

Well, at least now we know that the government’s stance comes from the top.
