🚨 🚨 As of yesterday afternoon, British users will no longer be able to use end-to-end encryption on their Cloud backups because Apple was forced to disable it.
This is extremely dangerous because unauthorized gov personnel or hackers could manage to access the backdoor that Apple will provide to the British authorities, putting the entire population at risk.
It's incredible that this happens just after the Chinese hack of the backdoors that US authorities had forced telcos to insert. As discussed in my Survival Tech (https://survival-tech.org): the remedy (the freedom risk of exposing the entire population to data leaks) is worse than the disease (the initial security problem which justifies backdoors).
It's more and more urgent to recognize end-to-end encryption as a key basic human right, and as a natural and necessary counterbalance to the overwhelming power that Big Tech, governments, and malicious actors obtain from accessing our data.
