A court has ruled against the UK government's attempt to conceal a legal battle with Apple over access to iCloud user data.The UK Investigatory Powers Tribunal stated that the government's efforts were a "fundamental interference with the principle of open justice."In January, the British government demanded Apple to bypass encryption for iCloud user data, which led to Apple's challenge of the request.Apple removed its advanced data protection feature for UK users and expressed disappointment in having to do so.
