Tim Cook: The FBI is asking us to write the software equivalent of cancer

Apple CEO Tim Cook says the U.S. government is requiring Apple to write “the software equivalent of cancer” Cook says complying with the FBI would set Apple on a slippery slope that could lead to more invasive requests in future. The FBI wants Apple to help unlock an iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino terrorists. Cook: “This is not about one phone, this is about the future. This is not what should be happening in this country” A magistrate judge last week ordered Apple to comply with the request but Apple has refused.”]
