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.
The reasons for Apple to protect these data exclude______.
选项
A、its business depends on these data
B、it’ s fatal to unlock these data for Apple
C、every government wants to get these data
D、the unlock of these data will bring Apple into a dilemma
答案
C
解析
根据题干关键词和出题顺序定位到第五、六段。根据第五段最后一句可知A项“苹果的业务依赖于这些数据”正确。根据Any crack in that front could be fatal for tech companies that must operate worldwide可知B项“这些数据的泄露对苹果公司是致命的”正确。其中in that front是指上一段中的the global public’s collective belief that they will do everything they can to protect that data。根据Once armed with…before a suspected terrorist attack—leaving Apple in a bind as to whether to comply or risk an attack and suffer a public-relations nightmare.可知D项“这些数据的泄露会使苹果公司陷入两难境地”正确。C项“每个政府都想得到这些数据”是对第六段第二句话的错误理解,原文意思是说,如果苹果公司同意美国政府获得苹果手机的数据,那有什么理由拒绝伊朗和中国政府的要求呢?故C项为正确答案。
