Why does Starmer want access to your DMs?

Did you see that a global privacy nightmare is unfolding in real time?

The UK government has secretly ordered Apple to backdoor encrypted iCloud storage worldwide—but Apple is legally forbidden from revealing this order, or they face criminal charges.

The government will not confirm or deny the existence of the order. There are concerns that breaking encryption could allow bad actors to access people's data, and pave the way for countries like China to make similar demands.

So what would this mean for the Government if Apple agrees to the demand? What does it mean for Apple if they refuse to go along with the demand?
