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.
Which of the following is NOT true according to Paragraphs 3-4?
选项
A、Apple is against the court’s order.
B、Apple claims it’ s fighting for most people’ s benefits.
C、Apple thinks it does matter to protect the data from any government intruder.
D、Apple has got support from the court and the public.
答案
D
解析
根据题干关键词定位到第三、四段。根据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.可知A项“苹果反对法院的命令”正确,其中is against是appeal的同义替换。根据Apple argues that it is fighting to preserve a principle that most of us who are addicted to our smartphones can defend可知B项“苹果宣称它在为大多数人的利益而战斗”正确。根据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.可知C项“苹果公司认为保护数据不受任何政府的入侵是重要的”正确。根据第四段可知D项“苹果公司已经获得法院和公众的支持”错误,原文是说“哪方会在这场争夺中获胜还不一定”。故D项为正确答案。
