UK government demands Apple backdoor to encrypted cloud data: report | TechCrunch

Apple is likely to stop providing its encrypted cloud service to U.K. users

I currently use Telegram for my friends and family, but have reluctantly come to the conclusion that the UK Government is either reaching agreement for backdoors with messaging services, or is trying its hardest to.

I’m also on Element/Matrix. Before I try to get my contacts to join me on there, should I be aware of any privacy issues or is that a good place to head?

    You can use Molly, a fork of Signal for android. It offers an alternative for push notifications.

      Yep, I run my own mollysocket + ntfy server.

      Essentially, molly socket functions as another device, when it recieves a notif, it pings your specified unified push server, which then queues up a notification for the ntfy app on your device.

      You don’t need to run your own unified push server, and can just use one of the main ones, but I figured I might as well.

      I personally have them hosted on fly.io for free via the legacy hobby plan.

      Now all I need to do is get more of my friends to message me on it 🤣
