Lebih Dari 40 Perusahaan Nyatakan Dukung Apple Lawan FBI

Dukungan terhadap Apple dalam melawan FBI dalam kasus enkripsi di iPhone terus mengalir tak terbendung banyaknya. Kini lebih dari 40 perusahaan dikabarkan bakal mengajukan pernyataan bersama untuk Apple di persidangan 22 Maret nanti.

Adapun sejumlah perusahaan tercatat mendukung Apple ada Dropbox, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Snapchat dan Yahoo. Selain itu, sejumlah organisasi, pakar hukum, akademisi, dan lainnya juga kabarnya ikut serta dalam mendukung Apple.

Para petinggi perusahaan tersebut disebutkan khawatir soal dampak yang bakal timbul jika Apple sampai kalah dalam persidangan nanti melawan FBI yang ingin sekali membongkar informasi dari iPhone yang terenkripsi.

Yet behind the scenes, it took time for some of the tech companies to make the decision to support Apple. Several feared the showdown with the government was too risky and could have far-reaching implications for the tech industry if Apple lost.
