Privacy rights advocates are pushing for Apple’s legal challenge concerning a secret U.K. government surveillance order to be held in public rather than behind closed doors. The challenge emerged following reports that the government ordered Apple to backdoor its end-to-end encrypted iCloud service, potentially affecting the data of users outside the U.K. This situation raises concerns about privacy rights for millions. A joint letter from rights organizations argues that the Investigatory Powers Tribunal should openly address the case, citing the public interest in understanding government authority over private companies regarding user data privacy.
