The British government has rescinded its order demanding Apple provide access to encrypted iCloud data after intense pressure from the TRUMP administration. The Financial Times reports the reversal followed weeks of behind-the-scenes negotiations involving Vice President JD Vance and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.
Vance personally intervened during a UK vacation, framing the Investigatory Powers Act demand as another example of European overreach against American tech firms. Gabbard confirmed the settlement, emphasizing protection of constitutional rights for U.S. citizens' data. The episode highlights growing global tensions around encryption and data sovereignty.
