The UK has agreed to drop its demand for Apple to gain access to users' encrypted data, a move that would have violated civil liberties. Apple emphasized it would not create a "secret backdoor" and legally challenged the UK order, withdrawing Advanced Data Protection from the UK market. Privacy campaigners have welcomed the decision, warning that such an application would be imprudent and expose users to risk. There is also a legal agreement between the US and the UK to share data for lawful purposes.
