Gabbard indicated that this requirement is “a clear and atrocious violation of confidentiality and civil freedoms of Americans.” The letter also indicates that US National Security Lawyers are working on a legal conclusion on the consequences of such a requirement.
The National Intelligence Director also recalled the existence of a bilateral agreement between the United States and the United Kingdom to explain the legal use of data abroad (cloud law). It prohibits the United Kingdom to demand the provision of data on residents of the United States or any person located in the country. A similar measure acts in relation to the authorities of the United States.
- On February 7, the Washington Post, citing Fuentes, reported that the British Ministry of Internal Affairs demanded that Apple provide access to ICLUD user files worldwide. According to the interlocutors, the authorities want to obtain a backyard of the company, which will allow it to extract content to help criminals.
- After that, Apple disabled the “expanded data protection” function for British ICloud.
