Apple threatens to remove FaceTime, iMessage from UK if “this” happens

Apple has said it will remove services such as FaceTime and iMessage from the UK rather than weaken security if new proposals are made law and acted upon in the country, reports BBC.

The proposals, which are currently being consulted on by the UK government, plan to make amendments to Investigatory Powers Act (IPA) 2016. It basically asks messaging services to weaken their encryption in order to allow law enforcement access to messages.
