Apple has launched a fresh legal challenge against a U.K. government attempt to access encrypted data held by British customers. That order was dropped by the U.K. after interventions from U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. Apple confirmed the filing of the legal challenge to CNBC, but declined to comment further. The Home Office said it does not comment on legal proceedings or operational matters, including confirming or denying the existence of individual notices. "The Investigatory Powers Act is world-leading legislation that helps keep people safe while protecting privacy through strong safeguards and independent judicial oversight."
