"The UK has agreed to drop its mandate for Apple to provide a 'back door' that would have enabled access to the protected encrypted data of American citizens and encroached on our civil liberties,"
"If Apple breaks end-to-end encryption for the UK, it breaks it for everyone,"

"Advanced Data Protection"
The UK Home Office issued a technical capability notice in early September demanding access to British citizens' iCloud backups. The notice follows a secret January order that sought a backdoor to access global encrypted iCloud files. Revealing the existence of secret TCN orders is a criminal offense, and Apple filed an appeal and removed the Advanced Data Protection end-to-end encrypted iCloud feature from the UK. US officials raised concerns about possible Cloud Act violations, and US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced Britain had rescinded the order in August. Two senior British officials later said the UK no longer faced US pressure. Privacy International warned that breaking end-to-end encryption for the UK would create vulnerabilities exploitable worldwide.
