Edward Snowden is more au fait than most of us with the US govement's surveillance strategies.
Spata/dpa/CorbisThe latest figure with an opinion on the fight between Apple is none other than NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. His conclusion? The FBI's claims that only Apple can bypass the security of the iPhone used by a terrorist are bogus.
"The FBI says Apple has the 'exclusive technical means' of getting into this phone," said Snowden on Tuesday. He called the claim malarky -- without using such a polite term.
"Respectfully, that's bulls***," he said.
The former NSA security contractor, who fled the US and lives in Russia, made the remarks while speaking via video link from Moscow about the threat of mass surveillance at Common Cause's Blueprint for Democracy conference in Washington DC.
Snowden is the latest voice to weigh in on the FBI's to force Apple into providing the agency with a backdoor to the iPhone's security, but his insight lends credence to the tech community's fears about compromising encryption. After exposing details of US and UK mass surveillance programs to the world, Snowden remains a controversial with an influential voice. Now that voice is accusing the FBI of lying directly about its technical capabilities.
The FBI has argued that the protections put in place by Apple can't be overcome, and that going after the iPhone 5C used by San Beardino, Califoia, shooter Syed Farook is critical to its investigation of the December attacks that left 14 people dead and another 22 wounded.
To explain why the FBI is attempting to mislead the courts and the public about not being able to crack into the iPhone and the tech industry's consensus against the FBI, Snowden followed up by tweeting a link to a blog post from the American Civil Liberties Union. In the post, ACLU Technology Fellow Daniel Kahn Gilmor called the FBI's case against Apple "a power grab."
"The FBI wants us to think that this case is about a single phone, used by a terrorist," Gilmor said. In fact, it is just an attempt "to weaken the ecosystem we all depend on for maintenance of our all-too-vulnerable devices" and ensuring that future software updates contain "deliberately weakened code."
The post also details how the FBI is misrepresenting the "auto-erase" feature it wants Apple to bypass and shows how the FBI could work around it if it so desired.
The FBI press office could not be reached for comment.
Apple didn't respond to a request for comment.
