We all have to suffer while all the illegall immigrants are loving life once they hit UK shores. Such a soft country now, they forget the fundamental thing.

I have this enabled, curious what they’ll do as they can’t remotely disable it, they’ll have to give us a deadline to turn it off or lose access to the data forever.

What’s stopping criminals from just encrypting stuff before they upload it to the cloud? Fuck all, this is just the government wanting power over its population

I think Apple should just pull out of the UK. Sadly UK politicians have a very vested interest in controlling information speech online. To the point they will even use the death of one of their colleagues to justify their hate speech law (Online Safety Bill). David Amess was murdered by an Islamic-State sympathiser.

Yes, because "terrorism" meanwhile they're handing everything to radicals who boat into the country.

And their councillors have and are helping cover up child rape and grooming gangs.

Existing users' access will be disabled at a later date.

No timeframe yet but I imagine it will be disabled fairly soon. Madness.

I'm not for assassinations in any country, but....

Don't generally, you know as a rule, do that here.

Isn't Apple "privacy/encryption" a fake misnomer in the first place? I'm pretty sure I read Tim Apple already scans every file you interface with on any Apple device/Apple account to see if it's illegal piracy or illegal porn?
