UK petition to keep 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.

With the Cabinet Office estimating the cost of Cyber Crime at £21BN a year to our economy, we can’t afford to make our data less secure with a backdoor. This means that people in the UK don't have the same levels of protection as other users when we save images, videos and personal documents to the cloud. They need to withdraw their demands for a backdoor into Apple products and focus on protecting UK citizens rather than making us more vulnerable to hackers and criminals.
