On August 18, local time, the U.S. Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, tweeted that the UK has reportedly rescinded its mandate requiring Apple to implement a 'backdoor' in iCloud. This 'backdoor' was initially envisioned to grant access to encrypted data belonging to protected U.S. citizens. In February of this year, the UK security agency requested that Apple create such a 'backdoor' in iCloud, asserting that it was vital for safeguarding the public against terrorist threats and investigating cases of child sexual abuse. Nevertheless, Apple responded by filing a legal complaint against this demand.
