Apple moves to store iCloud keys in China, raising human rights fears | Reuters
'Now, according to Apple, for the first time the company will store the keys for Chinese iCloud accounts in China itself. '
'Jing Zhao, a human rights activist and Apple shareholder, said he could envisage worse human rights issues arising from Apple handing over iCloud data than occurred in the Yahoo case. '
'That’s because of a change to how the company handles the cryptographic keys needed to unlock an iCloud account. '
'Any information in the iCloud account could be accessible to Chinese authorities who can present Apple with a legal order. '
'Apple doesn’t require an iCloud account to set up and use an iPhone. '
