Ignorand interdictiile impuse de catre NSA si alte agentii guvernamentale ale diverselor state de pe glob, compania Apple a publicat in cursul noptii trecute un document in care detaliaza toate cererile primite pentru furnizarea de informatii confidentiale ale clientilor sai. Mai mult decat atat, compania Apple descrie in acest document cum sunt administrate datele inregistrate de catre serviciile sale online, cum lucreaza cu guvernele diverselor tari pentru a furniza informatiile cerute de catre agentiile lor, ce tip de informatii cer agentiile guvernamentale de la ea, cum sunt primite si procesate aceste cereri in cadrul companiei si aici se opreste totul.
Apple offers customers a single, straightforward privacy policy that covers every Apple product. Customer privacy is a consideration from the earliest stages of design for all our products and services. We work hard to deliver the most secure hardware and software in the world, including such innovative security solutions as Find My iPhone and Touch ID, which have made the iPhone both more secure and more convenient. Perhaps most important, our business does not depend on collecting personal data. We have no interest in amassing personal information about our customers. We protect personal conversations by providing end-to-end encryption over iMessage and FaceTime. We do not store location data, Maps searches, or Siri requests in any identifiable form.
Miscarea celor de la Apple este una extrem de curajoasa, in conditiile in care vorbim despre ordine de interdictie impuse de catre agentii federale si in cel mai rau caz, unele persoane ar putea fi trase la raspundere pe latura penala. Apple este singura companie care a avut curajul de a publica aceste date, iar asta desi Google, Microsoft si alti giganti ai industriei americane s-au plans din cauza faptului ca nu li se permite sa anunte public numarul de cereri de furnizare de date primite si ce fel de informatii au fost oferite.
Table 1 shows account requests. The U.S. government has given us permission to share only a limited amount of information about these orders, with the requirement that we combine national security orders with account-based law enforcement requests and report only a consolidated range in increments of 1000. Table 2 shows device requests. Even though device requests have not been the focus of public debate, we are disclosing them to make our report as comprehensive as possible. These may include requests for the customer contact information provided to register a device with Apple or the date the device first used Apple services. We count devices based on the individual serial numbers related to an investigation.
Orientandu-ne acum asupra tabelului de mai sus, observam ca SUA are de departe cel mai mare numar de cereri facute catre Apple, ea fiind urmata la mare distanta de catre Marea Britanie, Spania, Germania si Italia. Daca privim de mai jos, observam ca SUA ramane in continuare lider in ceea ce priveste cererile, insa la o distanta nu foarte mare de ea regasim Brazilia, Germania, Italia, Marea Britanie Franta sau Australia, Apple cooperand intr-o anumita masura cu toate aceste tari.
