The UK government is contemplating whether to push Apple for a backdoor into its iCloud, threatening both user privacy and the UK's reputation in digital innovation. A Technical Advisory Board, which had not been renewed for some members, is tasked with reviewing the implications of such an order. Experts warn that compromising Apple’s data security would not only harm the company but also expose the UK to risks similar to those seen in the US after leaks regarding Chinese access to telecom data. The consequences for innovation and security are potentially severe.
Requiring them to destroy the integrity and security of their safest worldwide data storage system would be devastating for the UK's reputation as a centre for secure digital innovation.
The Technical Advisory Board is legally supposed to 'represent the interests of persons on whom obligations may be imposed,' but Apple is not and has never been represented.
