Apple launches fresh legal challenge against UK encrypted data access demand

The filing comes a year on from the U.K. dropping an initial demand for access to British and American user data from Apple.

It is the latest development in the ongoing dispute between Apple and the Home Office over data privacy.

Apple is back in a UK court over government demands for access to encrypted iCloud data, months after it degraded security for British users rather than build the back door the UK wanted.

Apple has appealed a new legal demand by the U.K. government, which critics say could threaten the privacy rights of users all over the world.
