Today's Story Highlights

The Flip Side of the Shiny Internet Coin

There are two sides to every coin -- a good side and a bad side. One
side helps you and the other side hurts you. The Internet is a great
example: The good side lets you learn anything, about anything, anytime,
any place. The bad side targets you with scams. They are running
rampant, and there is not a damn thing we can do about it. How can this
be, you may ask? Isn't this illegal?

Apple Lawyer Pushes Back Against FBI Testimony to Judiciary Committee

Apple General Counsel Bruce Sewell on Tuesday testified before the House
Judiciary Committee that his company should not be required write new
code for software that would weaken the security of the iPhone in the
wake of the San Bernardino, California, terrorist attacks. The FBI wants
Apple to take action that would put the privacy and security of millions
of customers at risk, he said.

FBI Director Makes Case for Security Trade-Off in Congressional Hearing

FBI Director James Comey on Tuesday testified before the House Judiciary
Committee that the government has the legal right to gain limited access
to the iPhone of one of the San Bernardino, California, shooters and
other suspected terrorists. Congress and the judicial system can create
a mechanism to protect the safety of the American people while
preserving constitutional rights, he said.

The Salesforce Health Cloud

Salesforce is opening a can of snakes with its new Health Cloud, which
became generally available this week. Having worked in the healthcare
software industry for many years in the last century, I have mixed
feelings about the announcement. While I'm relieved that an innovative
company is taking on healthcare software at last, part of me thinks it
could be a long and expensive slog.

EU Fleshes Out Privacy Shield Agreement

The European Commission on Monday released a draft of the EU-U.S.
Privacy Shield agreement, which would replace the controversial Safe
Harbor provisions that regulated U.S. access to the data of European
residents. The legal texts aim to finalize the reform of EU data
protection rules, which apply to all companies doing business in the
region, EC officials said.
