APPLE PULLS iCLOUD END-TO-END ENCRYPTION IN UK
Apple has removed its Advanced Data Protection (ADP) feature for iCloud data in the United Kingdom following a government order demanding backdoor access to encrypted user data.
The UK government issued a technical capability notice under the Investigatory Powers Act of 2016, requiring Apple to provide access to encrypted iCloud data, which would have compromised the end-to-end encryption for users worldwide.
Apple has disabled ADP for new users in the UK and will eventually require existing users to disable it manually.
This move affects iCloud data such as photos, notes, messages, and device backups, but does not impact iMessage, FaceTime, password management, and health data, which remain end-to-end encrypted.
Apple has stated that it is "gravely disappointed" and remains committed to offering the highest level of security for users' personal data.
