UK Privacy Clash - Business Outrank

As Apple removes its most advanced security feature from the UK after government demands for access to user data, debates on data protection tools intensify. Its Advanced Data Protection (ADP) tool was famous for its end-to-end encryption, which meant only account holders could access their iCloud data. This included backups, notes, photos, web bookmarks, reminders, voice memos, and text message archives – information that Apple itself could not see. But the UK government’s push for a ‘backdoor’ to user data forced Apple to shut down this vital data protection tool. The company said it was frustrated, highlighting increasing risks of privacy violations and cyber attacks. “We are very disappointed that ADP will no longer be available to our UK customers as data breaches increase,” Apple said. This move comes after it was reported that UK officials wanted to go even further, seeking to gain access to Apple’s user data globally. Apple had earlier opposed the proposed bill calling it an ‘unprecedented overreach’ and warning that the UK could thwart security enhancements globally. Despite its strong position of not ok the backdoors or master keys into its products, the company had to make a decision. Thus, Apple appears to have attempted to bring the data protection tool into conformity with the local laws by disabling it in the UK, although it is not clear if this will be enough for the regulators. Apple reiterated its position on user privacy and said that the need to enhance data security has become essential. “We hope to be able to return these to you as soon as possible,” the company said. This decision illustrates the continuing struggle between privacy rights and government surveillance across the world and prompts questions about the future of data protection tools in areas with strict data access policies.
