Comment on Apple refuses to break encryption, seeks reversal of UK demand for backdoor - Ars Technica
towerful@programming.dev 1 day agoNo.
Users that do not decrypt their storage lose their storage permanently.
Users that decrypt their storage get to continue to use it, but it isn’t decrypted.
No encryption is broken.
Users are swapping convenience for privacy. (Or privacy for convenience? Whichever way that is).
Broken implies it is unusable or useless. As in “Apples encryption is unusable”.
This is not the case. It’s not broken. Users are given the option to remove the encryption to be able to continue to use the storage.
