The CIA exanalista Edward Snowden and CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai , came to the defense of Apple against the government and the FBI for the warrant which requires the company to unlock the iPhone used by one of the authors of the December shooting in San Bernardino (California).
Snowden, who is currently in exile in Russia, defended Wednesday in his Twitter account Apple’s right to refuse what you ask the Federal Bureau of Investigation, to ensure that “the FBI is creating a world in which citizens trust Apple to defend their rights, and not vice versa . “
in addition, exanalista with leaks that exposed the extent of programs massive spying National Security Agency (NSA) branded the battle of being “the most important technology event in a decade” and disfigured to Google that has not acted on the matter.
Soon after, the CEO of Google tweeted that “ force companies to hack could compromise the privacy of users.”
“we build safe products to protect information and give law enforcement access data based on legal orders. But that is very different from requiring companies to enable hacking devices and data. Could be a dangerous precedent, “said the manager.

Meanwhile, House white argued that the order will only impact on that phone , as not being asked the company to “redesign” their products.
