Internet privacy company supports Apple in their struggle against the FBI, joins to other file an amicus brief to stand up for strong encryption
MEGGEN, SWITZERLAND - March 3, 2016 - Golden Frog and company data Foundry sister and several other organizations, today announced that they have filed an amicus curiae brief in the case of Apple against FBI. The brief was submitted to a California court in support of Apple, and demonstrates the commitment to privacy and online safety, and the belief that everyone has the right to protect themselves with strong encryption companies.
"This has the potential to be a historic event, which could set a precedent for the rights of privacy in the future," said Sunday Yokubaitis, President of Golden Frog. "Encryption is the second amendment to the internet, and we strongly support Apple and their efforts to fight against the request of the FBI encryption backdoor. We put this amicus curiae to show our support, and fight for encryption fort which is so essential for Internet users across the country. "
This filing comes in response to the widely publicized decision in which the US government demanded that Apple make it possible to access to an iPhone encrypted with their efforts in the case of terrorism San Bernardino.
Golden Frog says three main points in their filing. First, the use of the Act All Writs is too broad, and contradicts the limits Congress previously established to govern how the application of the law can force companies to help in their investigations. Second, the law All Writs can not create a new authority in contradiction with existing communications for law law enforcement (CALEA), it can not make an exception to CALEA and require companies to break encryption. Third, the way the case was conducted, and the urgency with which it was conducted, irrespective of due process. In addition, Golden Frog supports the decision would have enormous and devastating impact on small businesses across the country that could not afford the additional costs to build new technologies at the request of the government.
Golden Frog and Data Foundry joined with several other organizations to submit the filing. These companies include: AVG Technologies, Computer and Communications Industry Association (CCIA), the Internet Association, the Coalition of the Internet infrastructure ( "i2Coalition") and TechNet. Many other companies and rights groups around the country have filed separate briefs in support of Apple
