UK reportedly ordered Apple to give officials blanket access to iCloud users' encrypted backups.
The secret order was reportedly issued in January under the auspices of the UK ’s Investigatory Powers Act of 2016.
Apple can appeal the ruling to a secret panel, but it can’t delay complying with the order during an appeal.
Apple may stop offering encrypted storage to UK -based users, but that still wouldn’t address the Home Office’s demand that Apple let its officials access the encrypted backups of users around the world.
Apple told Parliament in March that the UK 's Investigatory Powers Act is extraterritorial, which could lead to a lengthy, protracted legal process”.
