US senators have threatened both Apple and Facebook and demand that they create a back door through which users' data can be accessed or they will find a way to do so against their will. Sources told Reuters that several members of Congress have informed Apple and Facebook of the need to give law enforcement officials a way to view encrypted user data. What is the secret of these threats and why?
Why access encrypted data
The lawmakers' argument was that there is encrypted data that must be accessed by law enforcement and during investigations in order to address many cases, including child abuse, shootings, and others. In the past, jurists have faced a problem in dealing with encrypted evidence, and the inability to access devices may disrupt and sometimes halt the progress of investigations.
Tech companies' reaction
For its part, Apple strongly refused the request to open a back door in its operating system, and this is not the first time that it was asked to do so, as there was a tense atmosphere in 2016 between the iPhone and the FBI after they requested the same thing at the time, but Apple believes that user privacy is one of the rights. To be enjoyed by every person.
As for Facebook, which provides a complete encryption system for its WhatsApp application, it intends to encrypt the rest of its applications such as Instagram and Facebook in order to protect the privacy of its users, but this step from Facebook is rejected by members of Congress and they want the social network not to implement it at the present time.
The hearing
Both Jay Sullivan, president of privacy at Facebook, and Eric Newchwander, president of privacy at Apple, attended the hearing before US senators. Instead of advocating for users ’rights, they criticized each other in an effort to sacrifice the other. Facebook's head of privacy said their company does not make devices or operating systems and it checks for illegal content. As for the head of privacy at Apple, he refuted these accusations from Facebook and said that Apple does not have forums and pages for strangers to communicate with each other, and we do not examine the content of our users to create profiles for them.
The writer's point of view
These politicians may have a respectful point of view, but the problem that they cannot understand is the creation of a weakness in encryption, which would open the door for hackers and others to abuse those security flaws, which means an explicit violation of users' privacy, as it could lead to monitoring ordinary users before. Governments so we can say goodbye to privacy.

The owner of Kaspersky Security Systems said while using the old stupid phone; there are two types of users; who hacked, and who hacked
I believe you myself, Zanglouni
We are monitored for 20 years without lying to ordinary people from the mobile phone and they have their tools and now they want to reach more, but we are monitored from a normal time.
Of course, they will respond to companies that only want money and profit
# Privacy is one of our rights.
Privacy is a user's right. We hope that these technology companies and companies with social media platforms will fight and reject them for the sake of their customers.
Perhaps this matter is not a major concern for the average user.
Compared with businessmen and those with higher positions or men with government precedents.
Therefore, you find Congress resorting and forcing major local companies to cooperate with them and decrypt the encryption keys.
We hope that Apple, Facebook, Google, Twitter and other technology companies will unite and not obey and accept government orders.
And defending the right to user privacy ..
Guys hope you evaluate this application * one
The reason is bad comments that are not worthy of readers in order to delete the comments and people attended what is worth reading and here is the beginning of the end. Oh God, guys, we must join hands until this boring application ends so that they know that we have rights. Tariq Mansour, who is not ashamed
Only here, please evaluate the application * one
Imagine with me reading the article
After you see the opinion of the members, you will find that all the comments are bad and the strangest thing in this is what is in a statement to me to comment, review a comment, delete the comment, or ban the account. The same is what they say in the terms and conditions.
Dear sir, may God guide you, we are working on a new application for iPhone Islam and by God, we do not know how to work. A little patience, may God guide you. And I am ashamed, may God forgive you. A little patience. What is it that I have been patient for XNUMX years on insults, insults and penance. You don’t know how to be patient.
Also, we have already removed the bad comments, and we are working to improve the whole experience, but be patient a little.
There are no bad comments, brother. I did not face me. Praise be to God, an excellent application
By God, it is the best program, and I have not seen bad comments, nor have I ever read one bad comment, which is better, better and more luxurious than this program, Professor Tariq says that you are not ashamed of your heart.
Respect yourself, Ali
Brother Ali, let go of the grumbling and focus on the content, and the group we see them diligently and work ,,
And you talk about bad comments, and you offend people in your comment, wonder !!
Finally it was leaked! Application development news! Leaking due to pressure! God help you!
The Senate is the highest legislative council in Congress, followed by the House of Representatives and the lower house. It represents companies (Facebook and Apple) officials at a medium level of leadership in the company, and this is questionable in terms of protocol and the seriousness of the matter !!
Second, there is no doubt that privacy in technology and device systems does not require permission at all. The US Constitution strikes all principles, agreements and customs at the local and domestic levels in the wall the hopes of national security and the country's interest.
And this matter results in two images. The first is that the subject is a pre-prepared scenario (a pendulum for the people) or in other words (a smokescreen). For violating privacy and throwing a Provine pill in the throat of the media.
As for the second image, it consists of requests submitted to companies for the purpose of study, analysis and tracking. There is no incident directly affecting national security, and there is no legal justification for opening the field.
It is also possible that law enforcement workers are tired of the method of selective requests and the supply of information with the dropper and submitted a request to open the door wide without discrimination, which prompted companies to adhere to the constitutional right and seize the position to right a dose of confidence for dealers and gain the confidence of the simple.
As for showing the government’s weakness in front of companies and considering customer data as a sacred right that must be preserved by the company represented by the image of the competent guardian, this is nothing but imagination and cannot be trusted, because money speaks and personal interest is a sharp tool that smashes the strongest and hardest stones and metals in existence.
I have a mobile iPhone, you blog administrator
But my device is completely empty hahaha
I mean, everything was deleted, the basic programs were deleted, and even the calculator deleted them
All features are disabled
Apple can't spy on me, I'm safe hahaha
IPhone company 😁😁
O brother, the author of the article, I leave this word
Apple is leading the technology and you limit it to one product
Haha
God knows where we walk
The biggest bug in Congress and its members are Jews, the back door aims to spy on everyone, a terrorist or a goblin, Apple's position is respectful, and that is why we love and love her.
What he noticed my attention was the opinion of the writer Watch out, they don't hear you in the Senate
Talk about your secret, all of it bash. Our data is on our devices and our pages are on Facebook they have, and I don’t need a back door and this is my head 😂😂
You might actually have them, but anonymously, I mean, I don't know this anyone's data.
Praise be to God, I don’t have Facebook, I don’t have an apple id, I don’t have personal photos of iPhones, and I don’t have communication programs
And even access to my site completely canceled everything is canceled
Even I don't have a SIM card number on my iPhone
Even the wifi is off, but it's over
Let's see, Apple, how you are going to spy on me Hahaha
They even know Pluno, George
You don't even look like a mobile 😊
Apple, if you want to answer you, she will answer you and you can disable the iPhone in your hand, so let the Black be not iron
