Even if we could trust the UK government, it’s still a terrible idea as it would only be a matter of time before bad actors can access the same backdoor!
Apple has reportedly been ordered by the UK government to create a backdoor that would give security officials access to users’ encrypted iCloud backups. If implemented, British security services would have access to the backups of any user worldwide, not just Brits, and Apple would not be permitted to alert users that their encryption was compromised. https://www.theverge.com/news/608145/apple-uk-icloud-encrypted-backups-spying-snoopers-charter
