Apple has filed a new legal challenge against the UK government regarding a demand for access to encrypted user data. The dispute centers on a fresh request by the UK Home Office demanding that Apple create a "backdoor" to allow authorities to inspect encrypted iCloud data belonging to British users.
The US technology company confirmed the legal action on Monday. This new appeal follows a previous dispute that occurred a year ago, when the Home Office had agreed to abandon an earlier attempt to secure similar access.
