Apple says no FaceTime and iMessage in UK if proposals made law – BBC News

Apple said it could remove services such as FaceTime and iMessage from users in the UK rather than complying with the UK government's proposed security rules.

The UK government is seeking to update the Investigatory Powers Act (IPA) 2016.

It wants messaging services to clear security features with the Home Office before releasing them to customers.

The act lets the Home Office demand security features are disabled, without telling the public. Under the update, this would have to be immediate.
