The UK government has served a technical capability notice to Apple under the UK Investigatory Act. Apple's response was to remove the Advanced Data Protection feature from the UK this week. What does this mean for Apple users in the UK and for encryption rights worldwide?

          Exactly. As I posted on a different thread I’m no fan of Apple but they’re probably one of the few companies with the balls and the sway to tell governments to fuck off, but I’m already worried how many other companies have already rolled over and how many more will if more governments start demanding this shit.
