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.
The BBC understands that the US technology giant has appealed to the Investigatory Powers Tribunal, an independent court with the power to investigate claims against the Security Service.
It is the latest development in an unprecedented row between one of the world’s biggest tech firms and the UK government over data privacy.
In January, Apple was issued with a secret order by the Home Office to share encrypted data belonging to Apple users around the world with UK law enforcement in the event of a potential national security threat.
Data protected by Apple’s standard level of encryption is still accessible by the company if a warrant is issued, but the firm cannot view or share data encrypted using its toughest privacy tool, Advanced Data Protection (ADP).
ADP is an opt-in feature and it is not known how many people use it.
Last week, Apple chose to remove ADP from the UK market rather than comply with the notice, which would involve creating a “backdoor” in the tool to create access.
Apple said at the time that it would never compromise its security features and it was disappointed at having to take the action in the UK.
The UK’s order also angered the US administration with President Donald Trump describing it to The Spectator as “something that you hear about with China”.
Tulsi Gabbard, US head of intelligence, said she had not been informed in advance about the UK’s demand.
She described it in a letter as an “egregious violation” of US citizens’ rights to privacy and that she intended to find out whether it breached the terms of a legal data agreement between the US and the UK.
The FT, which first revealed Apple’s legal action, reports that the tribunal case could be heard in the next few weeks, but may not be made public.
The Home Office refused to confirm or deny that the notice issued in January exists. Legally, this order cannot be made public.
But a spokesperson said: “More broadly, the UK has a longstanding position of protecting our citizens from the very worst crimes, such as child sex abuse and terrorism, at the same time as protecting people’s privacy.
“The UK has robust safeguards and independent oversight to protect privacy and privacy is only impacted on an exceptional basis, in relation to the most serious crimes and only when it is necessary and proportionate to do so.”
Apple declined to comment.

Boy, 16, dies after being shot in south London
A 16-year-old boy has died after being shot in an “enormously shocking incident” in south London, the Metropolitan Police has said.
The teenager was pronounced dead at the scene in Paradise Road, Stockwell, after police were called at about 15:20 GMT to reports of a shooting.
Officers are working to identify the victim and contact his family. No arrests have been made.
Supt Gabriel Cameron said: “Our thoughts are with the young boy’s family at this devastating time.”
He added: “This is an enormously shocking incident which I imagine will cause huge distress to the local community.”
“Local officers are on the scene gathering CCTV and speaking to witnesses to piece together what has happened.
“They will be supported by specialist homicide investigators shortly.”

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Universe VS The Predator
Every version of Donatello has at least some experience with extra-terrestrial technology. Countless times, he’s helped the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles overcome a technologically superior enemy, and the Predator is no different.
This being a random encounter, I don’t expect Donnie to be carrying a suitcase full of tools and gadgetry, but he always has a few tricks up his sleeve.
Donnie would first find a way to neutralize the Predator’s cloaking technology so he could see what he was dealing with. From there, Donatello would find a way to either turn the Predator’s tech against it or eliminate it from the equation altogether.
Sensing that a hand-to-hand fight would be suicide, Donnie would likely set up some traps, ala Arnold in the first Predator (1987), to incapacitate or at least slow the creature down.
Ultimately, it comes down to whether Donatello kills the Predator or simply leaves it immobilized. Of all the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Donatello is most reluctant to kill—his weapon is a big stick, after all—so instead, he knocks the Predator out and safely retreats back to the sewers for reinforcements.
