Apple Takes Legal Action in UK Data Privacy Row
Apple is taking legal action to try to overturn a demand made by the UK government to view its customers' private data if required, citing concerns over security and privacy. The tech giant has appealed to the Investigatory Powers Tribunal, an independent court with the power to investigate claims against the Security Service. By doing so, Apple seeks to protect its encryption features, including Advanced Data Protection (ADP), from being compromised.
