Mark Zuckerberg went on the record Monday to support Apple in its fight with the U.S. government.
Speaking on stage in Barcelona at Mobile World Congress, the Facebook CEO said he doesn’t think requiring back doors would be “the right thing to do” nor would it be an effective way to get data from the iPhone of deceased San Bernardino shooter, Syed Farook.
“We’ve already shared our statement,” said Zuckerberg. “We’re pretty sympathetic with Tim and Apple on this one.”
Last Thursday, Facebook (FB, Tech30) joined other Silicon Valley companies in backing Apple, whoch has vigorously opposed an FBI demand to alter part of its iOS software so that authorities won’t get locked out of the iPhone that Farook used.
Such demands “create a chilling precedent and obstruct companies’ efforts to secure their products,” Facebook said in a statement at the time.
