Apple may withdraw security feature in the UK: Government demands unrestricted data access

Britain has demanded that Apple provide extensive access to encrypted user data stored on its cloud platform, marking an unprecedented move in major democracies, according to a report byThe Washington Post.

Reportedly, the order, issued under a “technical capability notice” last month, is said to go beyond standard requests for assistance with accessing specific accounts. Instead, it seeks blanket access to data, raising fresh concerns over privacy and digital security.
