Apple Ordered by UK to Create Global iCloud Encryption Backdoor

The UK government has secretly ordered Apple to provide backdoor access to all encrypted user content uploaded to iCloud, potentially affecting users worldwide. Apple may cease offering encrypted storage in the UK rather than compromise security, though this wouldn't affect the broader order for access in other countries. The demand comes through the UK Investigatory Powers Act, which critics call the 'Snooper's Charter'.
