Immediately after the request, Apple issued an AN Official statement This no longer announced that it will no longer provide ADP (Advanced Data Protection) to new UK users. Cupertino also challenged the decision at the UK’s investigation authority (IPT).

In response to the initial demand of the UK, the United States began to investigate the terms and began to investigate whether this demand violated the cloud law between the two countries.
In the last few months, I work closely with a British partner @potus and @VpPrivate data in Americans remain personally and protect our constitutional rights and citizens’ freedom.
As a result, the United Kingdom agreed to withdraw its obligations.
