Privacy activists have warned that complying with such an order would be a mistake, and something that would impact the privacy of users worldwide. A spokesperson for the U.K. Home Office did not respond to TechCrunch’s request for comment. This is the second time that the U.K. government sent Apple what is called a “technical capability notice,” after the U.K. government’s first order issued in January. At that time, the U.K. Home Office was seeking access to cloud-stored backups of any Apple user account worldwide that was protected by ADP. Apple reportedly challenged the legal demand in court, which ruled that the process should not be held in secret.
