Europe2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported2m ago
On Monday, Apple confirmed to AFP that it has filed a new legal challenge against the United Kingdom government. The legal appeal is in response to a UK demand that the US tech company create a backdoor allowing authorities to access encrypted user data.
The dispute highlights ongoing tensions between tech companies and governments regarding digital privacy and national security. As part of these broader developments, Apple previously stopped offering Advanced Data Protection—its most advanced encryption feature—to British users in February 2025.
