A global privacy nightmare is unfolding.
The UK government secretly ordered Apple to backdoor encrypted iCloud storage worldwide—but Apple is legally forbidden from revealing this order, or they face criminal charges.
This affects 2 BILLION USERS.
Under the UK’s Investigatory Powers Act (IPA) 2016, Apple was served a Technical Capability Notice (TCN)—forcing them to create a backdoor for encrypted iCloud data.
This is not limited to UK users. It applies worldwide, meaning your private files are at risk, no matter where you live.

Apple is legally forbidden from revealing this order.
If Apple even acknowledges that the UK issued this demand, they could face criminal charges.
This is a secret government order with global consequences.
This isn’t just about the UK (although they are leading the charge in threatening citizens in OTHER countries for violating BRITISH censorship laws!)
If Apple complies, every government in the world will demand the same access—from the US to China to authoritarian regimes.
