Microsoft, Google, Facebook Back Apple in Blocked Phone Case
From recent polls most people think this debate is about:<p>&quot;Should Apple be forced to give the Terrorist&#x27;s phone data to the FBI&quot;<p>When what it&#x27;s really about:<p>&quot;Should the FBI be able to compel technology companies to use their resources against their own and their Customers right to Security.&quot;<p>In order for the public to be properly informed about what&#x27;s really at stake this case needs to be about the &quot;Technology Industry vs FBI&quot;, not what the US Govt is trying to set the narrative to: 
&quot;Apple protecting Terrorism&quot;. With this announcement this brings us to:<p><pre><code>  - Apple
  - Twitter
  - Yahoo
  - Facebook &#x2F; WhatsApp
  - Microsoft
  - Google (Sundar lukewarm)
</code></pre>
Big technology companies with large user bases that&#x27;s notably missing:<p><pre><code>  - Amazon
