BBC News - Apple pulls data protection tool after UK government security row
“In a statement Apple said it was “gravely disappointed” that the security feature would no longer be available to British customers.”
A better title would be “Apple helps the US government bypass the 4th amendment”.
I know Apple is an American company but what does this have to do with the US?
I agree that I was confused at first, until I remembered that any of the coalition countries (7 eyes?) has access to anything secret, they share with others that don’t.
But then wouldn’t this be “Apple prevents UK and 7 Eyes nations from spying on citizens?”
People in the UK are out of luck but the whole reason they’re turning off encryption there is to prevent governments from having a backdoor into their service.
America can’t legally spy on its own people
The UK can
And the UK is in an intelligence cooperation with America
