Apple, Google, Facebook Among Tech Giants Fighting Privacy Battle
Some of the world's largest tech companies are fighting battles on several fronts across the world to keep user data private. Last week, a consortium of tech companies led by Apple, Google, and Facebook issued a letter to the Australian government asking it to rethink a law passed in December that would make it easier for law enforcement to compel those companies to furnish user data. It was the latest in a string of complaints the companies have filed across India, Europe, and elsewhere, to protect user privacy. They argue that people have a right to privacy and employ end-to-end encryption to stop anyone, including law enforcement, from snooping on user data. If they don't, they could face massive fines and criminal charges in countries like India and Australia where data access regulations are moving through government.
