The United Kingdom’s request for the splendiate door of the apple should not be heard in secret, explains the courtyard

The British government has lost its attempt to keep the details of a surveillance order that it has brought against Apple, according to a decision newly published by the British Court of Powers.

The decision, published Monday by the investigation court on the powers of the investigation in London, means that parties of the judicial case will be held in public, despite objections of the British government.

In his decision on Monday, court judges said that they “do not accept that the revelation of the bare details of the case is detrimental to the public interest or prejudicial to national security”. This is the first public recognition that the case exists, although specific details of the case have been refused.

A large part of the “naked details” of the case would be linked to a British legal request Commandant Apple to allow the British authorities to access the encrypted cloud data of any Apple client anywhere in the world.

The Washington Post published the details of the legal request in February, revealing the existence of the United Kingdom stolen door request. Shortly after, Apple said that it could “no longer” offer advanced data protection, allowing customers to encrypt their files in Apple’s cloud so that no one other than the user can access them, users of the United Kingdom.

Neither Apple nor the Ministry of the Interior, which have launched the request on behalf of the British government, have so far commented on the specific legal case because it remains subject to the British national security rules, even preventing the existence of the case itself.

Following the order, Apple would have appealed the order for the court of investigation powers. The British government responded by telling the court that national security would suffer if the nature of the case was made public.

Defenders of privacy and rights, a media coalition, a bipartite group of American legislators and senior intelligence officials of the Trump administration have all called for transparency around legal hearings.

Contacted by Techcrunch, a spokesperson for the British home office did not comment. An Apple spokesperson did not immediately return a request for comments.

Apple previously told Techcrunch that the company had “never built a rear door or master” at one of its products or services and that it “will never do it”.
