Amid a warning about spying Apple changes its user data policy!

Apple has unveiled a policy of submitting a court order to disclose data related to user notifications, making it more difficult for authorities to obtain information from the “iPhone” group. Company's own.
The policy switch aligns Apple's terms and conditions with those of Google. The technology company did not officially announce the changes, but they appeared in an updated list of law enforcement guidelines posted online in recent days.

Wyden stated that Apple is “doing the right thing.” By following Google's policy of requesting a judge's order to hand over user data to the authorities.
