UK Signals Possible Reversal of iPhone Backdoor Mandate

🔍 The US Director of National Intelligence reports that the UK government is dropping a proposed mandate requiring a backdoor into the Apple iPhone, a development attributed in early accounts to reporting by Tulsi Gabbard. If accurate, the announcement would mark a significant retreat from proposals that would compel vendors to weaken device security. The decision is described as provisional and underscores continuing tensions between privacy advocates, technology vendors, and law enforcement over access to encrypted communications.
