UK Tribunal Blocks Secret Gov’t Case Against Apple Encryption
A government that demands invisibility in court is one step away from disappearing accountability altogether.
With a necessary reality check, a #UK tribunal has told the government that, no, it cannot hold a secret legal battle against #Apple over #encryption. The Investigatory Powers Tribunal (#IPT), the body meant to oversee the country’s surveillance powers, has dismissed efforts by the Home Office to keep the entire case hidden from public view. And in doing so, it has delivered a quietly important win for press freedom and digital rights. Although, things are far from over.
