Earlier, Barr said that Apple’s policy to protect personal data, including from law enforcement, threatens US national security and is unacceptable. According to him, it took four months for law enforcement agencies to crack a smartphone of a criminal who was shooting at a military base in Florida last year, as Apple refused to help. According to him, over the past year he has been discussing cooperation options with large technology companies, but he could not advance in this matter. Barr noted that the offender was associated with the al-Qaida terrorist group.
"Apple responded to the first FBI requests for information only a few hours after the December 6, 2019 attack and continued to assist law enforcement in their investigation. We provided every detail of the information that we had, including an iCloud backup, account information and data transactions with many accounts, we provided technical assistance and assistance with the investigation of the FBI offices in Jacksonville, Pensacola, New York over the next months," the company said in a statement.
The report notes that Apple cooperates with the FBI and other bodies that ensure the safety of US citizens in this and thousands of other cases.
According to the company, Apple does not believe in creating a bypass protection tool that would make every device vulnerable to those who threaten national security and the security of user data.
