For context: last year the UK demanded (in secret) that Apple create a backdoor into their iCloud Advanced Data Protection system. This was done via a Technical Capability Notice, and could have given the UK govt a master key to all iCloud users’ data worldwide.

When this fact became public, it drew a huge backlash. Apple announced that it was entirely removing the encrypted backup feature for all UK users. Trump administration figures rebuked the UK government.
