UK demands access to Apple users' encrypted data (www.bbc.com)

The demand has been served by the Home Office under the Investigatory Powers Act (IPA), which compels firms to provide information to law enforcement agencies.

Apple declined to comment, but says on its website that it views privacy as a "fundamental human right".

Under the law, the demand cannot be made public.
