Amazon disabled encryption on its devices for no real reason

By Carl Durrek1 min readGoogle News

When the American government tried to force Apple to weaken its encryption, the company boldly and publicly refused, and is now fighting a massive legal battle in order to defend its decision, but how would other companies have reacted in similar situations? Judging from how much support Google and Microsoft are giving Apple, their competitor, it’s safe to assume that the two of them would have made similar moves, but what about Amazon? Well, considering how it recently decided to completely disable encryption on many of its devices for pretty much no reason, I don’t think Amazon cares enough about encryption to fight the government for it.
