UK has backed down on demand to access US Apple user data, spy chief says
The UK government has backed down on its demand for Apple to provide "backdoor" access to encrypted data of US customers, according to Tulsi Gabbard, the US director of national intelligence. The dispute had been ongoing for months, with President Trump previously criticizing the UK government, accusing it of behaving like China. The UK's Home Office has now reportedly abandoned its insistence that Apple allow law enforcement officials to access the encrypted material of US-based Apple users. The news comes as a resolution to the long-standing disagreement between the tech company, the UK government, and the US administration.
