“A UK court has struck a rare blow for civil liberties. The highly secretive Investigatory Powers Tribunal rejected the British government’s bid last month to repress all public reporting of its attempts to gain ‘backdoor’ access to our private, encrypted data. The legal challenge was brought by Apple, which provides its UK customers with what is known as its Advanced Data Protection, or ADP, service. The ruling has barely been reported on in the British press, but is nonetheless of great significance.” (04/24/25)
