Apple launches legal challenge to UK backdoor order

BlockBeats News: On March 5th, according to the Financial Times, the UK government has requested that Apple (AAPL. O) establish a "backdoor" in its most secure cloud storage system, iCloud. Apple is intensifying its fight against the UK government and filing a legal appeal to overturn this order. According to informed sources, Apple has appealed to the Investigative Powers Tribunal, an independent judicial body responsible for reviewing complaints against UK security agencies. The court will review whether the notice issued by the UK to Apple is legal, and if it is not, it may order the revocation of the notice. This case will be heard in court as early as this month. The government may impose restrictions on this case on the grounds of national security. The UK government believes that breaking through the encryption barriers of information and backup systems is crucial for protecting the public from terrorist threats and investigating child sexual abuse.
