Apple pulls data protection tool from UK after Government security row

warning that Apple can no longer offer Advanced Data Protection to its customers in the UK (Yui Mok/PA) - (PA Wire)

Apple is to remove its highest level of data protection from customers in the UK following a Government demand for access to user data.

The tool, known as Advanced Data Protection (ADP), end-to-end encrypted the “majority” of user files that were uploaded to the cloud, meaning that only the account holder could access them.
