FBI Warns iPhone, Android Users—We Want ‘Lawful Access’ To All Your Encrypted Data


UK forces Apple to provide encrypted data to security agencies—is America next?

“The FBI and our partners often can’t obtain digital evidence, which makes it even harder for us to stop the bad guys,” warned former director Christopher Wray, in comments the bureau directed me towards. “The reality is we have an entirely unfettered space that’s completely beyond fully lawful access — a place where child predators, terrorists, and spies can conceal their communications and operate with impunity — and we’ve got to find a way to deal with that problem.” But [Tim] Cook, who met the president on Thursday, will be urging him to intervene,” and perhaps more interestingly, “Elon Musk, a close adviser to Trump, criticised the UK on Friday, claiming in a post on X that the same thing would have happened in America if last November’s presidential election had ended differently.”
