Obama: US does not need smart phones that can not hack the FBI


During his speech in Texas, US President Barack Obama said that the producers of mobile equipment would not have to create a device that can not hack into US intelligence agencies.

The head of the United States believes that the authorities should always be a tool for access to personal data of their fellow citizens. Otherwise, the fight against terrorism can slow down.

"All of us value our privacy and it is written in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. But you must understand that if the police have reason to suspect a single person in a child abduction or participating in a terrorist act, they have the right to search his home and belongings. We should also be aware that, for example, freedom of speech and religion are reasonable limits that can guarantee our security. The case Snowden sharply raised the question of espionage, and therefore the government is interested in creating an encryption system that is impossible to hack. However, there is also the need for access to personal data of individuals who are suspected of involvement in terrorist acts or creating child pornography. These two tasks should be to find common ground, "- voiced his vision problems Barack Obama.

Although US President refused to comment on the situation with Apple, he nevertheless urged listeners to grasp the essence of the question. According to him, society needs to find a balance between civil liberties and security.

"I think that smartphones may not be in full possession of the user. Due to security issues, we need to create an encryption system with a high degree of protection, access to which will have only a small number of specialists, "- Barack Obama said.

Recall that Apple refused to FBI requirements to create a backdoor to iOS. Federal Bureau wishes to receive the hacking tools to the "apple" of the mobile platform in the investigation of the terrorist attack in San Bernardino. Kupertinovtsy considered that the creation of a backdoor in the future could affect the security of personal data of all users without exception.
