According to The Washington Post, British authorities are insisting that Apple provide them with full access to users' encrypted accounts worldwide.
The request implies the creation of a special mechanism that would allow access to data stored in the company's cloud service.
In the view of experts, such a move could jeopardise the privacy of millions of users. However, judging by Apple's previous statements, the corporation is unlikely to make any concessions.
According to the latest reports, there is a possibility that Apple will abandon the provision of its encrypted storage service in the UK if pressure from the authorities continues.
