Apple is pulling its Advanced Data Protection feature in the UK:

- Starting today, the feature is unavailable to new users in the UK.
- Timetable unclear, but UK users who have already enabled the feature will eventually have to DISABLE IT to continue using their iCloud account.

Apple statement ⬇️
"Apple can no longer offer Advanced Data Protection (ADP) in the United Kingdom to new users and current UK users will eventually need to disable this security feature. ADP protects iCloud data with end-to-end encryption, which means the data can only be decrypted by the user who owns it, and only on their trusted devices. We are gravely disappointed that the protections provided by ADP will not be available to our customers in the UK given the continuing rise of data breaches and other threats to customer privacy. Enhancing the security of cloud storage with end-to-end encryption is more urgent than ever before. Apple remains committed to offering our users the highest level of security for their personal data and are hopeful that we will be able to do so in the future in the United Kingdom. As we have said many times before, we have never built a backdoor or master key to any of our products or services and we never will.”

Torn between switching to FairPhone 5 (using e/os) and similar products (because Apple funded Trump) or keeping Apple because everything just works

this kind of obviously biased headline is so frustrating when MSM is fighting for credibility

This, from Lewis Goodall, is bang on the mark.
On the same day, The Observer reported that ministers had decided they didn’t want to face the accusation from Farage that the “establishment” was trying to rig things against him. All of these arguments are classic examples of Labour bedwetting. Do we think for a moment, that if an equivalent foreign backer, say Bill Gates, was proposing a game-changing donation to Labour, that the Conservatives or Reform would not change the rules at pace? This is how populists win. They don’t observe norms and rules, while established players do, indeed they fret about them. Moreover, Farage will always claim that the establishment is trying to rig things against him – he’s made a career out of it.
