@[email protected] @theverge This is a #nationalSecurity disaster in the making, and a personal #cybersecurity disaster for hundreds of millions. The moment a server to person with access to keys gets compromised, the data exposure will make the #SaltTyphoon breach seem like one of those times a cop or journalist leaks the gender of a source through a pronoun. The data currently protected by #E2EE is much of the most sensitive data there is.

The assurances provided by iCloud #AdvancedDataProtection have undoubtedly led to its being trusted with data which would harm the UK by falling into MSS/PLA and SVR/GRU hands: and that can’t be prevented if the UK’s imperial global surveillance law is complied with.

#Apple would be better off blocking iCloud access in the UK, and explaining on Apple devicesin the UK why that is necessary, till that Investigative Powers Act amendments are rescinded.

One can either cling to presumed rightness, or put results over rhetoric and hence be effective, but not both.
