US Intelligence vs UK: Apple’s Encryption Battle

What I Found

Apple’s encryption fight with the UK is no longer just a UK privacy story.

Apple’s privacy battle with the UK government took a much bigger turn when US intelligence got involved.

The UK reportedly ordered Apple to create a way into encrypted user data. Apple did not simply comply. Instead, it disabled end-to-end encryption for users in the UK rather than build a backdoor into the system.
