Here's the BBC report on the matter: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c20g288yldko

It applies to content stored using ADP, Apple's E2EE tech. A backdoor into that would mean applying a backdoor into iOS on the phone itself, which is a much larger attack surface than anything centralised.

All of which highlights the clownish nature of these regulations. They are so easy for bad actors to circumvent (eg using their own E2EE), resulting in the ridiculous situation where the innocent get their data stolen and the very people you're targeting being completely unaffected.
