Hacking iPhones Approved by US Government
Hacking iPhones is no longer illegal, as the US Library of Congress decided to make it legal to hack a mobile phone in order to use different apps, services and networks providers.
This ruling means that smartphone owners will be able to “jailbreak” their phones, in order to run applications and software without the approval of the phone’s maker.
It means that iPhone users will be able to legally download and install apps on their handset that have not been approved by Apple.
The decision followed a campaign by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which fights for free speech online and technological innovation.
James Billington, Librarian of Congress, said phone owners who “jailbroke” their handsets would “not be subject to the statutory prohibition against circumvention”.
“More than a million iPhone owners are already said to have ‘jailbroken’ their handsets in order to change wireless providers.”
