Tulsi Gabbard, head of US National Intelligence, expressed concern over the UK's demand for access to Apple users' encrypted data, stating she was not informed in advance. She described the request as an "egregious violation" of US privacy rights and has requested information from the FBI about the matter. In response, Apple temporarily removed its Advanced Data Protection tool in the UK, stating the government’s demand would require breaking their encryption protocols. Gabbard is also exploring legal implications related to US-UK data-sharing agreements.
"The reports suggest an egregious violation of US citizens' privacy, raising serious questions about the UK's demand for access to encrypted data held by Apple."
"Tulsi Gabbard is seeking further clarification from the FBI and other US agencies regarding the implications of the UK's actions on privacy rights and legal agreements between the nations."
