Senior officials from the U.K. have privately met with their U.S. counterparts to clarify that their request for access to encrypted data in Apple\u2019s iCloud is not a blanket demand; instead, they are seeking access solely to data linked to individuals already involved in crimes such as terrorism, according to Bloomberg.<\/p>\n

People familiar with the matter told the publication that the British officials emphasized separate warrants would be required for each access request, ensuring they are strictly tied to investigations into serious crime within the U.K.<\/a> They denied seeking wide-ranging powers to access anyone\u2019s data for any reason, particularly that of U.S. residents, a claim that has fueled controversy.<\/p>\n
