U.K. orders Apple to let it spy on users’ encrypted accounts
81% Informative
U.K. government demands Apple create a back door allowing them to retrieve all the content any Apple user worldwide has uploaded to the cloud, people say.
The British government’s order, issued last month , requires blanket capability to view fully encrypted material, not merely assistance in cracking a specific account.
Apple is likely to stop offering encrypted storage in the UK , but that concession would not fulfill demand for backdoor access to the service in other countries.
Apple has made privacy a selling point for its phones for years .
Apple fought a U.S. order to unlock the iPhone of a dead terrorist in San Bernardino , California .
Google would be a bigger target for U.K. officials, because it has made the backups for Android phones encrypted by default since 2018 .
