Apple removes cloud encryption feature in UK after backdoor access order - Business Standard

Quick Summary:

As part of its order to Apple, the UK asked it for access to global user data, Bloomberg News reported.

The move to pull its most secure encryption technology in the region appears to be an effort from the iPhone maker to appease UK regulators, though it’s plausible the government will determine the company isn’t going far enough.“As we have said many times before, we have never built a backdoor or master key to any of our products or services and we never will,” Apple said.

The removal of Advanced Data Protection in the UK won’t remove end-to-end encryption provided by default for several other Apple features, including iMessage, FaceTime, password management and health data.
