The UK has decided against mandating Apple to install a backdoor into encrypted data on its devices. This decision is seen as a victory for digital privacy advocates and may set a precedent against government surveillance. The UK government's initial desire to access private encrypted data sparked significant opposition from privacy experts and tech companies. This move was a contentious issue, reflecting ongoing tensions between government oversight and the protection of digital privacy.
End-to-end encryption is an essential security tool that protects our personal data, including our bank details, health information, private conversations and images. It'd be an entirely reckless and unprecedented move from the UK Government to open up a backdoor to this data, and one that will have global consequences.
The UK's use of a secret order to undermine security for people worldwide is unacceptable and disproportionate.
