The United Kingdom has backed down from its demand that Apple allow investigators to access data from users anywhere in the world, according to the top US intelligence official.
US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard wrote on social media platform X that the UK had rescinded its request for the tech company to provide the government with a “back door” to access user data, which she said would have “enabled access to the protected encrypted data of American citizens and encroached on our civil liberties”.
