Apple is taking the unprecedented step of removing Advanced Data Protection (ADP) from customers in the UK, after Keir Starmer's Labour government demanded access to user data.
This has righly caused a considerable amount of anger.
Rupert Lowe MP:
Apple has caved to Labour overreach, stripping Brits of vital encryption protections that are available in the US and EU.
If Government has access to your iCloud data, then so too do bad actors.
This is going to cause CHAOS, with YOUR data.
Labour needs to urgently rethink.
-- Rupert Lowe MP
Rupert Lowe also posted:
Encryption matters. I want my data to be private, ESPECIALLY from the state.
Lots of questions. Why? Why now? Why does the state need this? Apple rolled over. I want to know why?
Do we trust the state with our newly unencrypted data? The answer is NO WAY.
Leave our data alone.
David Davis MP:
In an attempt to meet the demands of the Home Office - demands made on false illusions of providing security - Apple has been forced to entirely undermine the online security of pretty much every UK citizen who uses an Apple product.
