Title: US Spy Chief Gabbard Says UK Agreed To Drop 'Backdoor' Mandate for
Apple

Link: https://apple.slashdot.org/story/25/08/19/034...

The UK government has agreed to withdraw its order requiring Apple to create
backdoor access to encrypted iCloud data following intervention from the
Trump administration. Vice President JD Vance negotiated the agreement during
his recent UK holiday after the January order issued under the UK
Investigatory Powers Act prompted Apple to pull its iCloud Advanced Data
Protection service from Britain in February. Director of National
Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said the UK agreed to drop demands for access to
"the protected encrypted data of American citizens." Apple had filed a
complaint with the Investigatory Powers Tribunal scheduled for hearing early
next year.
