Tim Cook warns UK government against weakening encryption
Following the UK’s Investigatory Powers Bill, which was released last week with new and extended surveillance powers for the government, Apple CEO Tim Cook has defended strong encryption. Speaking to the Telegraph, Cook reiterated that Apple believes “very strongly in end-to-end encryption and no back doors.” He pointed to recent data breaches (hello, TalkTalk hack) and emphasised that they can endanger both public privacy and national security. “To protect people who use any products, you have to encrypt.”
