UK orders Apple to create 'back door' for access to encrypted user data
The UK government has reportedly asked Apple to create a 'back door' for accessing global user data in the cloud, under the Investigatory Powers Act of 2016. Apple is likely to resist this demand to maintain user privacy. The firm had previously opposed a similar request from the FBI in 2016 regarding the San Bernardino shooter's iPhone.
