UK sought broad access to Apple customers' data, court filing shows (opens in new tab)

> The UK’s Investigatory Powers Act has extraterritorial powers, hypothetically giving British law enforcement the right to access the data of Apple customers anywhere in the world, including in the US.

Who exactly voted for giving it to them in the rest of the world?

One day there will be a massive data leak and these backdoors are going to be closed. Not because privacy of some Joe Smith or exposing corruption, but because everyone will be able to read raunchy DMs of random politicians with their mistresses.

Who would have thought?...
