President Donald J. Trump has compared the United Kingdom to Communist China over demands made by their leftist government that Apple weaken its iCloud encryption and allow the state to spy on users worldwide. Trump criticized Labour Party Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, saying, “We actually told [Starmer] … that’s incredible. That’s something, you know, that you hear about with China.”
The British government demanded that Apple allow them a backdoor to get around Apple’s Advanced Data Protection system in iCloud, an optional way for users to encrypt their data. Instead of complying, Apple removed the feature for users within the United Kingdom.
