UK Home Office Issues Narrowed Encryption Backdoor Order Targeting Apple iCloud

The UK Home Office issued a revised Technical Capability Notice to Apple, narrowing its backdoor demand to cover only UK citizens' iCloud data rather than global users. This follows the earlier order that prompted Apple to withdraw Advanced Data Protection from the UK entirely. DNI Gabbard previously flagged the original order as a 'grave concern.' The move is viewed as a stalking horse for eventual demands against Signal and Telegram.
