Apple is trying its best to prove to its users that protecting the privacy of their data is one of the priorities for the company. A striking example of this is the refusal to help the FBI unlock the iPhone of a terrorist who fired at the San Bernardino Medical Center in California, USA in 2015.

It seems that Apple still has the technical capabilities to monitor users and in real time to report suspicious activity to law enforcement agencies, reports Securitylab.. To this conclusion came the journalist of the musical edition of Rolling Stone, Corey Grou, who attended the concert of Ariana Grande in Manchester (Great Britain) last weekend. The show was dedicated to victims of the terrorist attack in Manchester in May of this year.

According to Grou, there is a possibility that Apple monitors the downloads of iCloud notes. In the event of the discovery of something suspicious, law enforcement officials are immediately notified of a potentially dangerous activity.

"Going to the tram, I wrote in my application Apple" Notes ":" Above your head a helicopter is hanging ". For me it meant that the fans are watching.

Then I was stopped by two policemen and asked who I was and whether I wrote something on my phone about the helicopter, without even explaining how they read my note, "the journalist said..

While the journalist has only to guess how the police learned about the contents of his application, Apple CEO Tim Cook announced his company's cooperation with the British law enforcement authorities in connection with the recent terrorist attacks. What exactly is the cooperation, Cook did not specify.
