The secret order would give the UK access to encrypted backups belonging to any user — not just Brits.

    Apple’s iCloud backups aren’t encrypted by default,

      People aren’t as technically intelligent as most of us on here.

      Most companies haven’t put up proper MFA with apps and rely on SMS. Imagine they used security codes to recover their data from Apple …

    Encrypt everything. Show these fascist politicians and their laws the middle finger.

    Is there an article/source for this, or is it just a pic of a phone with a lock on it?
