flag U.S. lawmakers demand UK transparency on 2025 order forcing Apple to create a data backdoor, citing global privacy and security risks.

flag U.S. lawmakers Jim Jordan and Brian Mast are demanding a briefing from the UK government on its 2025 order to Apple to create a backdoor into encrypted user data, citing privacy and security risks. flag The UK initially sought blanket access to iCloud data, prompting Apple to remove its Advanced Data Protection feature in the UK and challenge the order in court. flag The Investigatory Powers Tribunal ruled that the case should not be secret, upholding open justice. flag Although the UK reportedly dropped the demand in August 2025, confirmed by U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, the lawmakers seek full transparency to inform Congress and the public about the implications for global digital security.
