“UK's iCloud Backdoor A Privacy Crisis” #cyber #news #data #tech #info #security #privacy

The U.K. government’s secret order to Apple demanding it backdoor the end-to-end encrypted version of its iCloud storage service has now been challenged by two civil rights groups, Liberty and Privacy International, which filed complaints Thursday. They called the order “unacceptable and disproportionate” and warned of “global consequences” as the access order is thought to extend to non-U.K. users too.
