Apple has slammed Labour over trying to strong-arm it into allowing the UK government to access users’ encrypted data. In January, ministers demanded Apple hand over access to data from iPhone users worldwide – a push that Trump shot down. A few weeks ago, the Home Office then demanded Apple create a ‘backdoor’ for UK users only…
Apple has since had to pull its most secure feature, iCloud Advanced Data Protection, from Britain altogether. A privacy catastrophe…
An Apple spokesman blasted:
“Apple is still unable to offer Advanced Data Protection in the United Kingdom to new users. We are gravely disappointed that the protections provided by ADP are not available to our customers in the UK given the continuing rise of data breaches and other threats to customer privacy. As we have said many times before, we have never built a back door or master key to any of our products or services and we never will.”
