Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard says she has serious concerns about the British government's reported demand that Apple provide backdoor access to any data stored in the cloud.

US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard called for an investigation after the UK government ordered Apple Inc. to build a backdoor into the global data of its customers.

US Senator Alex Padilla and Representative Zoe Lofgren, two Democrats who both represent California, asked the DOJ to investigate whether the UK might have breached the terms of the US-UK Agreement on Access to Electronic Data for the Purpose of Countering Serious Crime.

Tulsi Gabbard has hit out at the UK’s demand that Apple build a “back door” in its iCloud security system, saying such a move would be an “egregious violation” of Americans’ privacy that risked breaching the two countries’ data agreement.

A secret order issued by the UK against Apple would be a ‘clear and egregious violation’ if it provides back door access to Americans’ encrypted data, says US director of national intelligence.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is going to bat for civil liberties against the overreaching British government.
