Apple says 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.

Updates to the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 lets the Home Office demand security features are disabled, without telling the public.

Apple has consistently opposed the act, originally dubbed a "snooper's charter" by critics.

</quotes>

Other companies have also opposed the act and others, have said they will withdraw their services rather tan comply, as our government seeks to create a surveillance state worse than China and North Korea.
