  I wonder if this was UK s idea or they’re just acting as underlings of the great orange potato head and his husband space social man.

  This isn’t going to happen. I’m not sure what the UK is expecting here.

  They should just cut off all service to the UK and show a message with the contact information for everyone that wants the back door.

  Encrypt everything. Show these fascist politicians and their laws the middle finger.

  Apple’s iCloud backups aren’t encrypted by default,

  Why the fuck not?

    People aren’t as technically intelligent as most of us on here.

    Most companies haven’t put up proper MFA with apps and rely on SMS. Imagine they used security codes to recover their data from Apple …

      It’s important to note here that even if you turn on this option, apples Does not support full end-to-end encryption, there are still multiple factors that they keep under standard data protection which means they still have the encryption keys. They keep this under the guise of deduplication so they can save on storage costs but some examples of this are:

      • the apps+file formats you have installed
      • your phone’s make model and serial number
      • most metadata that defines what an item represents such as date time modification time
      • all file checksums (this is scary imo)

      They explain how everything with their encryption works here

  Is there an article/source for this, or is it just a pic of a phone with a lock on it?
