The notice is a secret government legal order for demanding access to users\u2019 data, even if the data is encrypted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For critics, this kind of demand is the equivalent of requesting a backdoor into Apple\u2019s cloud backups that have Advanced Data Protection (ADP) switched on, which makes the data end-to-end encrypted and inaccessible to anyone other than the customer,\u00a0including to Apple.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This new challenge comes a year after a similar fight between Apple and the U.K. government. In early 2025, London issued a secret order to Apple demanding access to users\u2019 encrypted iCloud backups, which was later dropped following the intervention of the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the first order, the company reacted by removing the ability of U.K. users to use ADP. Then, in October, the U.K. issued a second order, which Apple is now challenging.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apple did not respond to TechCrunch\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
