American human rights defenders demanded from Apple completely abandon the plans to scan the photo of the iPhone owners. The appropriate statement is published on the website of the Organization Foundation Electronic Frontiers (EFP).
The statement of a non-profit organization says that they are glad that Apple listened to public concerns. Activists refer to the interests of customers, researchers, civil liberties organizations, human rights activists, representatives of LGBT, representatives of young people and other ages. “However, the company must go further than just listen, and completely abandon plans for installing backdoor in its encryption system,” the EFP statement is specified.
In his post, representatives of the organization accused the Tim Cook company in an attempt to violate the rights and freedoms of a person. According to EFP activists created by Apple, the mechanism creates a huge danger to the privacy and security of iPhone users. “It offers authoritarian governments a new mass surveillance system for surveillance for citizens,” – specified in the document.
“who speaking a huge coalition will continue to demand that users’ phones – both their messages and photos – have been protected, and that the company fulfills its promise to ensure this confidentiality to its users,” says in conclusion.
At the beginning of the autumn Apple stated that he suspends the unfolding function of scanning photos of the iPhone users for cruel treatment of children for its finalization. About Apple’s intention to introduce a new mechanism for protecting children has become known in early August.
