Apple Resists UK Government Request for Backdoor Access to Encrypted Data

Apple has disabled its most secure data storage offering in Britain, refusing to install a backdoor that would allow police and intelligence agencies to access encrypted content. The move comes after a secret government order, which would have granted authorities access to customer data without compromising the security of the system. Many readers support Apple’s decision, citing concerns about privacy and the potential for exploitation by malicious actors.
