‘Absurd’
When you have the press and civil society camped outside the courtroom, the secret might be out
Even so, we’re still denied the reasons why the UK government wants to take a battering ram to our security and privacy.
It shows contempt for the public interest in the Apple encryption case.
"Google refuses to deny it received encryption order from UK government"
The UK’s encryption-breaking order for a backdoor into iCloud isn’t a one-off.
The secret hearing happening RIGHT NOW is bigger than just Apple. If the government wins, our right to privacy and security falls.
Other services will be hit.

No one really knows how the game is played
The art of the trade
How the sausage gets made
We just assume that it happens
But no one else is in
The room where it happens.

The battle for encryption happens TODAY. Your right to privacy and security will be decided behind your back.

"This is a significant test for the battle between law enforcement and technology.”
Holding the Apple case in secret makes the legal process more cloak and dagger, less scales and sword.
It makes it harder to challenge the UK government's order to break encryption and creates a dangerous precedent.
This case sets the stage for more shady encryption-breaking orders to be made.
Break the silence: Save encryption!
The UK government wants to be able to access anything, anywhere, any time — from your pics to your docs.
It begins with Apple. Other services will be next. That's why we must take a stand NOW!

The message is clear across the political divide: let's hear it!
The UK government should argue in open court why they want to make us less secure by ordering a backdoor into Apple encryption.
A secret Tribunal would be an affront to the privacy and security issues at stake. It must be held in public.
Read the joint letter from ORG, Big Brother Watch and Index on Censorship
Bipartisan US Congress Members want the secrecy around the UK's encryption-breaking order to be lifted.
"It is imperative that the UK's technical demands of Apple - and of any other US companies - be subjected to robust, public analysis and debate."
“Secret court hearings featuring intelligence agencies and a handful of individuals approved by them do not enable robust challenges on highly technical matters.”
UK MPs have joined the chorus of voices wanting the Apple case to be held in public.
"If the Home Office wants to have effectively unfettered access to the private data of the (innocent) general public, they should explain their case in front of the public."
David Davis MP.
"People deserve to know what's happening to their private personal information."
Victoria Collins MP.
Make it public!
The call is getting louder for a public hearing of the appeal over the UK's order to break Apple encryption.
Alongside the joint letter from ORG, Big Brother Watch and Index on Censorship, UK MPs, US Congress Members and the BBC want the secrecy to end.
Privacy is online safety.
We should know why the UK government wants to endanger millions of users.
We should have a say: encryption keeps what we store on the cloud safe from hackers and predators.
It starts with Apple, other services will be next – we must take a stand NOW.

“There is significant public interest in knowing when and on what basis the UK government believes that it can compel a private company to undermine the privacy and security of its customers.”
ORG, Big Brother Watch and Index on Censorship call for the Tribunal into the UK government's secret order for Apple to break encryption to be held in public.

Make your voice heard through the secrecy!
By ordering Apple to break encryption, the UK government has put millions at a higher risk of their personal data, documents and photos falling into the hands of criminals and predators.
The secret tribunal is taking place this Friday – we need to take a stand for encryption!

The “case implicates the privacy rights of millions of British citizens who use Apple’s technology, as well as Apple’s international users.”
“End-to-end encryption cannot be broken in a targeted manner – once a ‘backdoor’ into the system has been created, it can be exploited by anyone, putting the privacy and security of all users at risk.”
With such high stakes, we demand to know what could possibly justify it.
"Holding this Tribunal in secret would be an affront to the global privacy and security issues that are being discussed. This is bigger than just the UK, or Apple."
We call for the case – happening this Friday – to be held in the open as a matter of public interest!
@jim – ORG Executive Director.
