UK government again trying to get backdoor access to Apple's user data
The UK government is continuing its bid to access Apple's user data, this time with a demand to routinely access iCloud backups of its citizenry.
Having given up on trying to force Apple to provide access to encrypted users’ data, no matter what country the users live in, the evil British are back at it, trying to force Apple to provide a back door for data belonging to UK citizens.
I still expect Apple to refuse. Aside from the technical issues involved in creating such a backdoor, the slippery slope would be too dangerous. More likely they just disable all encryption in the UK and tell customers “your government won’t allow you to keep your data safe. Sorry you don’t live in a free society.”
