White House: San Bernardino iPhone hack doesn't endanger privacy

The FBI’s success in hacking the San Bernardino (CA) shooter’s iPhone should not make Americans worry that their broader privacy is in danger, the White House said. “The reason they should be confident in that privacy is because there are laws on the books that are assiduously followed…that protect the privacy of the American people,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest said. Privacy can be assured, he added, “even as we undertake the necessary actions to protect our national security.”
