Government issues new data demand for UK Apple users
The UK government has issued a new order granting it the authority to request access to the personal data of Apple users in Britain, citing national security concerns. This move comes amid an ongoing dispute between Apple and the Home Office over data privacy. Apple remains firm in its commitment to prioritizing user privacy, while the UK government emphasizes the need for access to private data with appropriate warrants for security purposes. The latest order, limited to UK Apple users, marks a potential compromise in the conflict.
