The battle between Apple and law enforcement officials over unlocking a terrorist’s smart-phone is the climax of
a slow turning of the tables
between the technology industry and the United States government.
On the one side, you have the United States government’ s mighty legal and security apparatus fighting for data of the most sympathetic sort: the secrets buried in a dead mass murderer’s phone. The action stems from a federal court order issued on Tuesday requiring Apple to help the F.B.I. unlock an iPhone used by one of the two attackers who killed 14 people in San Bernardino, Calif, in December.
In the other corner is the world’ s most valuable company, whose chief executive, Timothy D. Cook, has said he will appeal the court’ s order. Apple argues that it is fighting to preserve a principle that most of us who are addicted to our smartphones can defend: Weaken a single iPhone so that its contents can be viewed by the American government and you risk weakening all iPhones for any government intruder, anywhere.
There will probably be months of legal tussling, and it is not at all clear which side will prevail in court, nor in the battle for public opinion and legislative favor.
Yet underlying all of this is a simple dynamic: Apple, Google, Facebook and other companies hold most of the cards in this confrontation. They have our data, and their businesses depend on the global public’ s collective belief that they will do everything they can to protect that data.
Any crack in that front could be fatal for tech companies that must operate worldwide. If Apple is forced to open up an iPhone for an American law enforcement investigation, what’ s to prevent it from doing so for a request from the Chinese or the Iranians? Once armed with a method for gaining access to iPhones, the government could ask to use it proactively, before a suspected terrorist at tack—leaving Apple in a bind as to whether to comply or risk an attack and suffer a public-relations nightmare.
Yet it’ s worth noting that even if Apple ultimately loses this case, it has plenty of technical means to close a backdoor over time. "If they’re anywhere near worth their salt as engineers, I bet they’re rethinking their threat model as we speak," said Jonathan Zdziarski, who studies the iPhone and its vulnerabilities.
According to the text, which side will win the fight?
选项
A、Tech companies.
B、The United States government.
C、It’ s not clear.
D、There is no winner.
答案
A
解析
根据题干关键词定位到全文。全文主要围绕“以苹果为代表的技术公司与美国政府就手机数据之间的争夺”展开论述。文章第一段开篇点题,引出双方之间的战斗。接着介绍交战双方及其秉持的理由。根据Yet underlying aU ofthis is a simple dynamic:Apple,Google,Facebook and other companies hold most of the cards in this confrontation.(然而,这一切的背后有一个简单的动力:苹果、谷歌、脸谱网和其他公司掌握着控制这场争夺战局势的大部分主动权。)和最后一段的“但值得注意的是,即便苹果最终输掉官司,该公司掌握很多可以最终关闭后门的技术。如果他们是称职的工程师,我打赌此时此刻他们正在重新考虑他们的威胁模型”可知,在这场争夺战中,胜算较大的是“以苹果公司为代表的技术公司”,故A项正确。B项“美国政府”、C项“不清楚”和D项“没有胜利者”均不符合题意,故排除。
