bloomberg.com/news/article... [embedded post] X: @togetherdec : .@ukhomeoffice secretly demanded backdoor access to Apple iCloud encryption Now Apple in High Court to appeal, contents of hearing also kept secret Is it any wonder people are calling you “Yvette Snooper” @YvetteCooperMP? @Apple @BigBrotherWatch @OpenRightsGroup @UKLabour Rebecca Vincent / @rebecca_vincent : @BigBrotherWatch ... The hearing appears to be over for the day - Apple's team exited earlier, and now the government's. No information at all shared with us all day. Nothing communicated about whether our submissions will be considered, whether there will be further hearings, nada. @bigbrotherwatch : 🗣️The Government owes the public an explanation for compelling Apple, a private company, to undermine the privacy and security of its customers. Read @BBCNews coverage of our joint letter with @OpenRightsGroup & @IndexCensorship⤵️ https://www.bbc.com/... Rebecca Vincent / @rebecca_vincent : I'm at the High Court, where Apple's appeal against the Home Office order to breach encryption will be heard at 10:30 am. The hearing is closed, but @BigBrotherWatch & others are campaigning for it to be opened. This threat to all of our rights must not be considered in secret!
