In a dispute over a "backdoor" demand from the British government, Apple has decided to pull its advanced data protection from the British market. The security feature encrypts iCloud data with end-to-end protection.

Apple has revoked the option to enable Advanced Data Protection for iCloud users in the UK after the government ordered backdoors be implemented.

Apple says can no longer offer end-to-end encrypted cloud backups in the UK and insists it will never build a backdoor or master key.
