Would be a technical nightmare because now you’d have two versions of Apple encryption, where the security changes depending on where in the world you are (ie your IP address.) This is so dangerous that it’s tantamount to a global backdoor, including against US citizens.

What’s worrying here is that the UK government seems absolutely determined to access user private data, no matter the bad press and the consequences. And they’re now willing to do it overtly. Between this and recent moves against encryption in the EU, we’re going to a bad place.

Second, how is Apple supposed to make a single encryption system that’s secure for US users but not for UK users? This would require that they partition their software globally and have many versions, which seems like a disaster. Are you sure you’re running the “secure” OS?

📅 Nine years ago today, the UK voted to leave the EU.
So, how’s that going?

The numbers are in.
Brexit has blown a £40 billion hole in the UK’s public finances.

Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.

Yes it’s in the agreement that UK agrees to finally fully implement the agreed hard brexit.

Still on course for my prediction of no less than 50 years (of decline) to even move close again. The 70s period of social and economic decline and empty rotting buildings still to come.
