Abstract

Apple has accused the UK government of an "unprecedented overreach" on privacy and data security. Proposed changes to the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 have raised concerns for Apple, as they believe it poses a serious threat to user privacy and data security. The law would require tech security updates to be reviewed by UK authorities before release, potentially delaying vital security patches and making the UK a target for hackers. Apple has warned that these proposals could stifle innovation and disrupt the global market for security technologies, putting users at greater risk. [Extracted from the article]
