Best remove all those saucy photos you have stored in the cloud because thanks to the govt, Apple have had to remove encryption so potentially anyone can see them. Be it Apple, the govt or hackers. It seems the govt don't like you having data privacy.

I'm surprised Apple crumbled (ha ha) so easily. In the past they've quite fiercely resisted govts trying to put pressure on them. | |

have they crumbled? it feels more like taking their ball home to me. |  |

Hopefully it's strategic before Starmer goes to the US and Trump demands they restore it. Some of their politicians kicked off about it recently. | |

Quite. They haven’t crumbled, the resisted the UK demand to have back door access to user’s data and as a result have pulled their top level security. They hold the power at the moment and personally I think Apple are in the right here, privacy should be maintained. |  | | |

Well they've removed a level of security that many users won't be happy about. The right to data privacy ought to be a human right IMO. Until we get protection over our personal data written in legislation then governments will continue to pull these kind of moves. | |

Is it worth it?
The cloud does get backed up so there will always be those saucy photos attached to your account.
I saw this coming years ago.
What could possibly go wrong with giving control of your data to someone else.
You willingly surrendered it.
Did you click 'Accept' rather than read all the T&C's?
Are they coming to get you?
Of course they are. |  |

Just to clarify, while I disagree with the judgement and they have had to remove ADP in the UK, they have not removed encryption.
ADP was effectively end to end encryption and was an heightened layer of security, which you had to go through and actually opt in for, and I would suggest the majority of users have not opted in.
All Apple users have standard data protection which is the default setting for your iCloud account. This means your iCloud data is encrypted in transit and stored in an encrypted format at rest - this level of encryption has not changed.
As an comparison if you have a google account, it does not have end to end encryption, just standard encryption at rest and encryption in transit . . . same as your Microsoft account, onedrive etc etc |  | | |

Suggests to me that opt-in usage was low, therefore not worth going to battle over with a gvmt, so Apple positioning themselves well politically when needed. [Post edited 21 Feb 16:13]

The latest encryption AES-128 hasn't been cracked and is pretty safe as no standard computer could hack it in a month of Sundays.
However, a Quantum computer that a government could own and operate could. | |

Exactly. If they want to use that to crack my thousands of pictures of my dogs, cats, kids, grandchildren etc etc, they're welcome to it. | | | |

That's the one safeguard - the cloud is flooded.
There is so much data it's impossible to search all of it.
1% would probably take a lifetime. | |

Would that include any pictures or videos of Jay Tabb, for example?

why would Trump want to demand they restore it ? its not a US problem for them.
and the NSA already have their own backdoor to US tech companies, so its not like they care about that either | | | |

US politicians have been pretty scathing of the backdoor demand. Although this is different it's still an American company and I could see Trump demanding the government back off. It would be an easy concession for Starmer.. | |
