Apple Calls for Congress to Form Committee for Privacy Issues

Apple said Congress should form a committee to discuss privacy and personal freedoms. Apple would “gladly participate” in such an effort. “We feel the best way forward would be for the government to withdraw its demands under the All Writs Act and, as some in Congress have proposed, form a commission or other panel of experts on intelligence, technology, and civil liberties to discuss the implications for law enforcement, national security, privacy, and personal freedoms,” the company said.
