The UK government has asked Apple for access to encrypted data stored in its iCloud service, claiming it's necessary for national security. Privacy advocates argue that this demand undermines individual privacy rights and sets a dangerous precedent. Apple has previously resisted similar requests, emphasizing its commitment to user privacy. Experts warn that creating a backdoor for government access could lead to exploitation by malicious actors. The debate continues over the balance between security and privacy in the digital age.
