Sixteen tech**logy companies today teamed up to officially support Apple in its ongoing encryption dispute with the FBI, a copy of which has been shared by Apple (http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2016/03/03Amicus-Briefs-in-Support-of-Apple.html#lab**l). Twitter, Airbnb, eBay, LinkedIn, Square, Atlassian, Auttomatic, Cloudflare, GitHub, Kickstarter, Mapbox, Meetup, Reddit, Squarespace, Twilio, and Wickr filed an amicus brief [PDF (http://images.apple.com/pr/pdf/Airbnb_Atlassian_Automattic_CloudFlare_eBay_GitHub _Kickstarter_LinkedIn_Mapbox_Medium_Meetup_Reddit_ Square_Squarespace_Twilio_Twitter_and_Wickr.pdf)] backing Apple's assertion that the FBI's use of the All Writs Act to force Apple to help the government unlock the iPhone used by San Bernardi** shooter Syed Farook is both unprecedented and dangerous.

It would set a dangerous precedent, in which the government could sidestep established legal procedures authorized by thorough, nuanced statutes to obtain users' data in ways **t contemplated by lawmakers."The filing, which urges the court to vacate the government's motion to compel Apple to unlock the phone, argues that handling user data in a "safe, secure, and transparent manner" that protects privacy is of the "utmost importance" to protect consumers from ******s and other wrongdoers," while also recognizing the government's "important work" in law enforcement and national security. It says the companies oppose forced backdoors, but will continue to comply with "proper and reasonable" requests for data.
Dozens of tech**logy companies, industry trade groups, and encryption experts have been submitting documents to support Apple, all catalogued on Apple's website (http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2016/03/03Amicus-Briefs-in-Support-of-Apple.html#lab**l). AT&T (http://www.attpublicpolicy.com/government-policy/congress-**t-the-courtsshould-decide-apple-case/), Intel, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation filed separate amicus briefs this morning, as did the Consumer Tech**logy Association in partnership with the Business Software Alliance [PDF (http://images.apple.com/pr/pdf/BSA_The_Software_Alliance_the_Consumer_Tech**logy_ Association_the_Information_Tech**logy_Industry_Co uncil_and_TechNet_2.pdf)], a group that includes Microsoft, Salesforce, Oracle, IBM, and Autodesk.
Other amicus briefs have come from Access **w and the Wickr Foundation, ACT/The App Association, the American Civil Liberties Union, and a group of cryptography experts including Jonathan Zdziarski.
More amicus briefs are expected to be filed throughout the day, including one from a consortium that includes Google, Nest Labs, Facebook, WhatsApp, Ever**te, Snapchat, and Mozilla.
All "Friend of the court" or amicus briefs supporting Apple are due by Thursday evening to give Sheri Pym, the judge presiding over the case, time to read through them before a court hearing. Apple is set to face off against the FBI in court on Tuesday, March 22.
