A group of major high-tech companies has supported Apple in its legal battle with the FBI as the authorities seek to access encrypted data on an iPhone used by the Islamist militant behind December’s killing spree in San Bernardino California. Dave Lee reports. “Twitter, Airbnb and Ebay are among the companies offering support to Apple in their case. The 17 tech firms jointly filed an amicus brief, a mechanism by which individuals or companies can offer their view on a case they feel affects them even if they’re not explicitly involved. Apple also has the support of the husband of victim Anies Kondoker who survived being shot three times in last year’s attack. However several other victims’ families are believed to be backing the FBI. Its director James Comey early this week maintained Apple is overstating the security risk inunlocking the iPhone.”
