Apple is already a participant in the UK's warrantless surveillance program. They are enrolled in the United States PRISM program which is a known component of the FIVE-EYES international surveillance network. The UK is one of the longest-standing members of the FIVE-EYES network, and a direct consumer of Apple-provided surveillance information.
