One of the most contentious issues between business and government this year revolved around whether law enforcement should be granted a so-called “back door” to unlock password-protected devices, most notably the Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPhone.

Earlier this year, Apple opposed an order from the FBI to unlock an iPhone which was used by one of the San Bernardino shooters. The showdown brought about several hot button issues: terrorism, privacy, government overreach, national security, to name a few.

Now, Business Insider reports Hillary Clinton has picked a side as part of her newly unveiled technology platform. The striking thing is how closely her position mirrors comments from Apple CEO Tim Cook. Clinton’s statement reads in part, “Hillary rejects the false choice between privacy interests and keeping Americans safe.”

Cook, in an interview with ABC, said “It's not just about privacy but it's also about public safety."

How much her policies might support her stated view is unknown, but she certainly appears friendlier to Apple on this issue than her opponent in the 2016 presidential race, Donald Trump, who called for a boycott of Apple when the issue was still being hotly debated.
