Chief of the Spy Says | Apple

The UK government has revoked its insistence apple Tulsi Gabbard, the spy chief of Donald Trump, said law enforcement officers were allowed to “backdoor” access to U.S. customer data.

After a months of dispute involving X, the U.S. National Intelligence Director issued a request on X iPhone Manufacturers, British government and US president. Trump has been accusing Britain of behavior like China and told Prime Minister Keir Starmer: “You can’t do that.”

Not really Ministry of the Interior Apple also did not comment on the so-called agreement, which Gabbard said means that the UK no longer requires Apple to “provid ‘backdoors’ which will enable access to protected encrypted data for U.S. citizens and embezzle our civil liberties.”

The transatlantic journey began with Ministry of the Interior issued a “Technical Capabilities Notice” to Apple Under the Investigative Powers Act, the bill requires companies to assist law enforcement in providing evidence. Apple’s response was to launch a legal challenge, with the Interior Department asking it to be kept confidential, but the judge ordered it to be made public.

Vice President JD Vance also complained: “I don’t want American citizens to be surveillance.” “We are creating a backdoor in the network of technology our own enemies are using,” he said.

Civil Liberties groups warn that the backdoor will put politicians, campaigners and minorities in particular at risk of being targeted.

February, Apple responds to quit Its new UK customers can choose the advance data protection option and say it is “very disappointed” and will never build backdoors for any of its products. This means that many UK customers cannot benefit from end-to-end service encryption, including iCloud drives, photos, notes or reminders, making them more vulnerable to data breaches.

“Over the past few months, I have been working closely with partners in the UK, as well as President Trump and Vice President Vance, to ensure that Americans’ private data remain private and that our constitutional rights and civil liberties are protected,” Gabbard said.

It is not clear whether the technical capability notifications requiring data access will be completely withdrawn or altered. In theory, it may be limited to allowing access to data only by British citizens, although experts warn that this may be technically unrealistic. This also raises the danger that other foreign governments can still find ways to use the backdoor.

Whether Apple can again access its highest level of data protection.

The Interior Department declined to confirm Gabbard’s claim, saying: “We do not comment on operational matters, including confirming or denying the existence of such notices. We have long been in common security and intelligence arrangements with the United States to address the worst threats to deal with terrorism and child sexual abuse, including playing a technical role in achieving these threats.”

It added: “These arrangements have long included safeguards to protect privacy and sovereignty: Data access agreements, for example, include key safeguards to prevent the UK and us from targeting each other’s data data. We will continue to build these arrangements on the basis of these arrangements and we will continue to maintain a strong security framework to ensure that we will continue to maintain the actions of terrorists to ensure that we will remain within our territory.

Officials say the UK’s data access protocol allows British agencies to submit requests for direct message content to communications service providers, including social media platforms and messaging services, in the United States, but this must be for the purpose of investigating, preventing, detecting and prosecuting serious crimes.
