Summary of Google CEO's series of twitter posts.

1/5 Important post by @tim_cook. Forcing companies to enable hacking could compromise users’ privacy

2/5 We know that law enforcement and intelligence agencies face significant challenges in protecting the public against crime and terrorism

3/5 We build secure products to keep your information safe and we give law enforcement access to data based on valid legal orders"

4/5 But that’s wholly different than requiring companies to enable hacking of customer devices & data. Could be a troubling precedent

5/5 Looking forward to a thoughtful and open discussion on this important issue
