Gabbard Calls for Investigation of UK's Apple Backdoor Request
By and Alex Wickham Save US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard called for an investigation and expressed concern after the UK government ordered Apple Inc. to build a backdoor into the global data of its customers. Gabbard said the decision could leave Americans' encrypted data at risk of being exposed, according to a letter she sent on Tuesday to two US lawmakers who had expressed their own objections to the matter. Instead of complying with the UK and building a backdoor, Apple removed Advanced Data Protection from the country last Friday, eliminating a feature for end-to-end encrypting cloud storage, device backups and apps like notes.
