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?
Nothing? My backups stay encrypted as like most other people on earth I don’t live in the uk
Today me, tomorrow you. Other countries are itching to enforce the same shit, don’t let it happen to you!
France is on the same path, for instance.
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.
