Mark Bartholomew, professor of law and an expert on encryption and cyberlaw, is quoted in an article on the front page of The New York Times about the popularity of the Apple iPhone in China, where it has become both a status symbol and a form of personal security given how difficult the device is to break into in a country where people increasingly worry about hacking and cybercrime. “Tim Cook is leveraging his personal brand and Apple’s to stand on the side of consumer privacy in this environment,” he said. “He’s taking the long view.” The article also appeared in the Houston Chronicle, Seattle Times and Boston Globe.
