UK Demands Global Backdoor Access to Apple's Encrypted iCloud Data

The United Kingdom has ordered Apple to create a backdoor for accessing users' encrypted iCloud data, as reported by The Washington Post.
The demand, issued under the U.K.’s Investigatory Powers Act 2016, seeks blanket access to encrypted files rather than specific accounts, according to the report.
Apple may stop offering its Advanced Data Protection service in the U.K. Due to this order, which could impact its global privacy standards.
This request is unprecedented among major democracies and raises concerns over privacy violations, as noted by Mark Cuban.
