Some of the major technological giants like Facebook, Google and WhatsApp plan to increase their coding systems user data in their services, as revealed today by the British newspaper “the Guardian”.
the experts of the leading Silicon Valley companies work in their own privacy technologies while Apple is fighting a legal battle with the Department of Justice US.
the FBI wants Apple to design a software that allows disabling iPhone security of a suspect in a terrorism case, although the company refuses to consider that would damage civil liberties.
According to that newspaper, projects that set these companies indicate that the industry is willing to publicly support Apple with concrete actions against the demands of the US government.
Apple introduced in February an appeal for annulment to the request of a court in that country to assist the FBI to unlock a phone used by one of the authors of the shooting December 2015 in the Californian city of San Bernardino, in which 14 people were killed and 22 were injured.
the said company considers that the order has broad implications and inflict “significant damage to civil liberties, society and national security”.
According to “the Guardian “within weeks, WhatsApp plans to expand its coding systems so that also your voice messages will be encrypted and its messages groups, while, for its part, Facebook plans to strengthen security in your messaging system.
Other technology companies raised similar measures are the popular messaging service Snapchat and Internet search engine Google.
to date, engineers of these companies, which also include the social network Twitter, have explored the products coded messages, if they have not properly launched to find that are difficult to use or have given priority to other projects they consider most suitable for the consumer.
However, according to “the Guardian”, these companies hope now increase coding for senior managers of these tech giants perceived privacy tools as an advantage in business.
these new projects started to take shape before Apple enzarzara with the US government on whether it should help authorities to unlock the iphone of a suspected terrorist.
