The Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT) will consider a challenge from Privacy International, Liberty, and two individuals against the Home Secretary's decision to compel Apple to allow UK Government access to iCloud data. The case questions the legality of such government powers. Advocates argue that forcing Apple to create a 'backdoor' poses risks to sensitive data and could endanger marginalized communities. The Tribunal rejected the Government's push to keep court proceedings secret, making public key details of the case, including Apple's involvement as a claimant.
The IPT has agreed to hear the challenge against the UK Government's power to force Apple to share users' iCloud data, raising vital privacy concerns.
Privacy International and Liberty claim that this government action poses serious risks to sensitive data, especially for marginalized groups like political dissidents.
