CybersecurityPrivacyEncryptionGovernment Surveillance
Apple has decided to disable the Advanced Data Protection (ADP) feature in the United Kingdom after British authorities demanded the creation of a backdoor to access users' encrypted cloud data. This decision comes in response to the authorities' request to access sensitive information stored in iCloud, prompting Apple to take this measure to protect the privacy of its users. The ADP feature, which provides end-to-end encryption for iCloud data, will no longer be available to UK users.
