Samsung does not support Apple in its pulse with the FBI. Anyone surprised?

Since Tim Cook expressed his position defending the privacy of users against FBI requests to unlock the iPhone 5c Terrorist San Bernardino, they have already been more than 40 props that have received Cupertino. These include those of Microsoft, Google, Edward Snowden, Mark Zuckerberg and co-founder of WhatsApp, Jan Koum.But it seems that Samsung will not support Apple's stance , at least not officially or delivering any writing.

As we read in Bloomberg , Samsung itself that you agree with some of the statements from Apple, as the idea that " any request to create a backdoor could undermine consumer confidence ", but did not show support for his enemy intimate, which is none other than the company directed by Tim Cook. But is it something that should surprise us ? I think depend on the terms and criteria of each.

On the one hand, yes that surprises you want to stand out from a group in which themselves are other large technology companies; on the other, knowing how to operate a company that wanted to take the death of Steve Jobs (even mailings that read that "now is the time" when the former CEO of Apple died were sent), it is not surprising that want to attempt to harm the Cupertino.

Ensure confidence in our products and services is our number one priority. Our phones are integrated with encryption that protects privacy and content and not have back doors. [...]

When necessary to do so, within the law, we work with law enforcement. But any request to create a backdoor could undermine customer confidence. [...]

Protecting the privacy of our customers is very important, but we have not decided whether to file a written "amicus" in the current case. I think Samsung should put aside for a moment the rivalry with Apple and simply do the right thing.

What it is kind of funny is when they say they should put aside their rivalry with Apple and do the right thing when they have not done or have it decided . I think, as they say, have to do the right thing is to side with customers because, after all , are the ones who pay them and have put them where they are. If they do not, however much they say, they have sided with the FBI, and we all know that side can only end in the image you finish this article:
