The British government has ordered Apple to create a backdoor for iCloud backups, demanding access to all users' encrypted files worldwide, not limited to the UK. This action arises from the Investigatory Powers Act of 2016 and threatens the integrity of end-to-end encryption, which Apple offers through Advanced Data Protection. Although Apple can appeal, compliance with the order cannot be delayed, and they may be prohibited from notifying users that their encryption would be compromised, sparking significant privacy concerns across the globe.
"Even if Apple appeals, the implementation cannot be delayed, meaning Apple must comply with the UK government's demands despite potential security implications for users worldwide."
"Apple argues that the UK government shouldn't dictate the security options available to citizens globally, emphasizing the importance of maintaining user privacy and security."
