Apple continues to push back against the UK government’s request for full access to all iCloud content across the globe. As a result, the appeal is set to be considered at a secret hearing at the High Court.
According to BBC, it’s due to be considered by the Investigatory Powers Tribunal, an independent court that has the power to investigate claims against the UK intelligence services. Allegedly, the meeting is being kept under wraps because it relates to security services.
