苹果公司已向英国独立调查权力法庭提起法律诉讼，挑战英国政府根据《调查权力法案》发出的技术能力通知。[1]该通知要求苹果向政府提供英国用户加密iCloud数据的访问权限。[1]
这是苹果与英国政府在数据加密问题上的第二次对抗。[1]英国政府曾在去年放弃了最初的数据访问要求，随后发出了针对英国用户的新的技术能力通知。[1]苹果在2025年1月撤销了英国客户对其高级数据保护计划的访问权。[1]与此同时，隐私国际和自由组织也分别对技术能力通知制度提出了投诉。[1]案件管理听证会定于下月进行。[1]
Apple has filed a legal challenge with the UK Investigatory Powers Tribunal against a technical capability notice issued by the British government under the Investigatory Powers Act [1]. The notice demands that Apple provide the government with access to encrypted iCloud data belonging to UK customers [1].
This represents the second confrontation between Apple and the UK government over data encryption [1]. The government had previously abandoned an initial request for data access, but subsequently issued a new technical capability notice targeting UK users specifically [1]. Apple withdrew UK customers' access to its Advanced Data Protection plan in January 2025 [1]. A case management hearing is scheduled for next month [1]. Privacy International and the Open Rights Group have also filed separate complaints against the technical capability notice system [1].
