Earlier this year, the UK government ordered Apple to grant it access to encrypted data stored by Apple users worldwide in its cloud service.

The secret order was made under the Investigatory Powers Act and the government has tried to keep the public in the dark ever since. Even when Apple appealed the order.

Now there will be some level of transparency with today's decision.

"This is bigger than the UK and Apple.

The Court’s judgment will have implications for the privacy and security of millions of people around the world.

Such an important decision cannot be made behind closed doors and we welcome the IPT’s decision to bring parts of the hearing into the open."

There is now the opportunity for some public scrutiny of the UK government’s decisions to attack technologies that keep us safe online.

We must stand against the attack on encryption.

Keep our Apple data encrypted

It is reported that the Home Office has ordered Apple to build a backdoor into its encrypted services so that they can get hold of content that any Apple user has upload to the cloud. Encryption keeps our private information safe and secure.
