Ukuba FBI iphumelele umlo owugcinayo ngoku ne-Apple, abasebenzisi baya kuphulukana nemfihlo yethu kunyanzeliso lomthetho kwaye, okubi ngakumbi, kubaduni. Le yinto iApple, njengezinye iinkampani ezininzi, engayiboni kakuhle kwaye inokuyikhuthaza ezinye iinkampani ezibalulekileyo kweli lizwe ziya kubalekela kwelinye ilizwe apho banokuqhubeka nokuphuhlisa isoftware ekhuselekileyo. Yiloo nto uLavabit, owayesakuba yinkampani yokhuseleko, ebhale.
Umgqatswa wobumongameli uDonald Trump akawufihli umnqweno wakhe wokuba iApple isebenzisane nabezomthetho kwaye uye wade wathembisa (nangona ndiyathandabuza ukuba angasigcina isithembiso sakhe) sokuba iApple izakwenza izixhobo zayo eMelika ukuba wonyulwa njengomongameli. . Ukuba ezona ziganeko zimbi ziyenzeka, ngokutsho kukaLavabit, iinkampani ziya kwenza into efanayo naleyo yenziwe nguEdward Snowden, uJulian Assange, uKim Dotcom okanye iTorrents iwebhusayithi yePirate Bay: khangela indawo yokuhlala ebavumelayo. ukusebenza ngenkululeko epheleleyo.
I-FBI yayiza kugqiba ukulimaza i-United States
Kuxwebhu olungenisiweyo, uLavabit uthi iFBI izame ukufumana i iqhosha lofihlo lwabucala yenkampani yakhe ngaphambi kokuba ivalwe, into eyenzekayo ngo-2013 ngenxa yokuvuza kwe-Edward Snowden. Esi sitshixo yayikukubathintela, ucime, uhlole kwaye uguqule (zombini ngabom nangengozi) lonke unxibelelwano phakathi kweLavabit kunye nelizwe langaphandle."Kwaye bathi"URhulumente ngoku ufuna uncedo [olufanayo] olungaqhelekanga oluvela kwa-Apple, oluyoyisa injongo ye-All Writs Act kwaye ibeka esichengeni ngokungeyomfuneko ubukrelekrele bepropathi yenkampani yabucala engazange ibandakanyeke, nangayiphi na indlela, ngolwaphulo-mthetho oluphandiweyo.«.
ULavabit uyayikholelwa loo nto Isicelo sikarhulumente asikho mthethweni, kodwa akuphelelanga apho. Ukwakholelwa ukuba oko kunokonakalisa isidima se-Apple, kuba abasebenzisi abanakuze baqiniseke ukuba xa sihlaziya sifaka isixhobo esitsha sokuhlola. Njengokuba oko kwakunganelanga kwaye mhlawumbi eyona ngongoma ibalulekileyo yokuba iinkcukacha zeLavabit, iinkampani ezibonelela ngezixhobo ezisebenzisa uhlobo oluthile lwe-encryption zingabaleka ilizwe.
Le ndlela inokubangela ukuba amashishini amaninzi ahambise imisebenzi yawo kude nonxweme ukwenza kube nzima ukuba abomthetho bafumane naluphi na uncedo.
Ngapha koko, iinkampani ezinjengeSilent Circle, iProtonMail okanye iTutanota ziyishiyile i-US ngenxa yemigaqo-nkqubo yazo yabucala. Ndicinga ukuba kunzima ku-Apple ukushiya ilizwe apho ithathe amanyathelo ayo okuqala, kodwa nantoni na inokwenzeka. I ukhuseleko kunye nemfihlo Zimbini izizathu zokuba sithenge izixhobo zabo kwaye, ukuba bayayeka ukuzinikezela, sinokujonga ezinye iindlela, ngoko ke inkampani eqhutywa nguTim Cook iya kubona inzuzo yayo ihla. Ngokombono wam, urhulumente uza kugqiba ukunikezela. Ukuba akunjalo, mhlawumbi siza kubona i-Apple ifudukela e-Australia, ngubani owaziyo.
