Ever since the official order was released by the court that Apple should provide all the necessary assistance to the FBI to help them unlock the iphone that was recovered. The company has clearly stated out their concerns pertaining to the fact of what all could possible happen if the backdoor for unlocking the phone is developed. A Congressional hearing was arranged so that the company could put their concerns and reasons in front of a panel.
The formal objection was filed by Apple soon after the Congressional hearing was over. The objection is on the order that was passed by the court to help the FBI to break into the shooter’s iPhone that was found on the San Bernardino crime scene. While they were in front of the Congressional panel, they concerns pertaining to the privacy of the users information, the encryption as well as what all can actually go wrong was all spoken out.
A mandatory response had already been filled by the Apple in which the court was requested to vacate the order that was passed. The reason was stated out in a detailed document of 65 pages. All the necessary information has been given as to why the company will not be adhering to the order. The document that was filed by the company was a little shorter.
The filing of 2 pages by the company clearly objected on the court’s order as well as gave all the necessary reasoning references that were already provided in the response that was given earlier.
On March 22nd, the court has scheduled a hearing for following up with the response given. The California Central District Court will be the place where the entire argument will be heard. The argument could have technically taken a turn if the formal objection had not been submitted by the company since it the rights had been waived out. As a precautionary measure, the company had filed and accordingly a decision will be taken out. This is also one of the main reasons why the written objection has been filed by the company.
