Apple takes legal action in UK data privacy row

Apple has launched a legal appeal against a Technical Capability Notice issued by the UK Home Office under the 2016 Investigatory Powers Act, as reported by the Financial Times.
The order requires Apple to provide UK law enforcement access to encrypted user data, causing security concerns among advocates, according to the BBC.
Apple removed its Advanced Data Protection feature from the UK market rather than comply with the order, reflecting its commitment to user security.
The Investigatory Powers Tribunal may hear the case soon, but there may be no public disclosure due to national security grounds, according to the Financial Times.
