the UK government has dropped its demand for a backdoor into Apple's encryption. This could open the door for Apple to bring back its Advanced Data Protection iCloud encryption to the UK for new users www.theverge.com/news/761240/ ...

I have to say something not bad about Tulsi Gabbard. — (This doesn't happen often.) — Glad to hear she's negotiated to get the UK not to mandate backdoors in iPhone encryption.

Highly important victory. This will also dissuade Eurocrats in their attempts to impose “chat control,” which would also hand them the power to scan all private encrypted messages. 19 EU member states currently back the proposal

To be clear: this doesn't mean Advanced Data Protection is coming back to the UK anytime soon. I doubt that'll happen until the order is reversed for all nationalities.

UK folds on the Apple backdoor. Bravo to the Trump admin on a huge win for American tech. When are they going to fold on extraterritoriality under the Online Safety Act?

@TimSweeneyEpic Apple didn't “cave.” The UK order didn't allow Apple to publicly acknowledge they even received it. Apple disabled E2E encryption in the UK to prevent being subject to the order & trampling on users' rights. You should stop being so disingenuous. It's pathetic.

@JohnWilson This is a misleading distortion. Apple disabled end-to-end encryption, putting all UK customer data within reach of the UK government.

This is a great move by the UK. Privacy is a human right, and government shouldn't have the power to demand surveillance backdoors in software. It's too bad Apple caved and disabled iCloud end-to-end encryption, but hopefully next time engineers hold execs to a higher standard.
