Amazon Flip-Flop Lands Fire OS Back in Encryption Camp

Amazon last week announced that it had reversed a previous decision to drop support for local encryption on version 5 of its Fire tablet operating system. The disclosure came one day after the company joined 14 others to support Apple in its fight against the FBI, which wants the company to create a tool or code to unlock an iPhone that belonged to one of the San Bernardino, California, terrorists. "In the fall when we released Fire OS 5, we removed some enterprise features that we found customers were not using," an Amazon spokesperson said.
