Apple is opposing a secret UK government order requiring access to encrypted iCloud files, emphasizing issues of unlawful intrusion by intelligence services. The company has appealed to the Investigatory Powers Tribunal, which will assess the legality of the order and could order it to be nullified. Apple halted its Advanced Data Protection feature in the UK as a response. The UK government, invoking the Investigatory Powers Act of 2016, specifically targets encryption that protects user data. The outcome may have broader implications for global data protection norms.
