Not sure I want to read those 'charming' WhatsApp messages from what we've learnt so far!

Re: UK trying to access your private data on Apple.
 

At the end of the day the people are going to have to decide upon two things.

1) What is more important to them, their own personal privacy or law enforcement agencies being able to find child sex abusers, terrorists etc. As most people won't have been affected by such acts, I suspect that they will opt for the former.

2) Who rules our country and decides how the law should operate, the elected government of the day, or website owners?

It's very good of you to give us 2 options

Re: UK trying to access your private data on Apple.
 

They would refuse on the grounds of national security which is the standard cop out.

Now that sounds excellent!!

I doubt they would agree though!

Re: UK trying to access your private data on Apple.
 

What additional options would you say are available?

This is your fantasy not mine :)

You are taking the mick, I hope. :p: It's not a question of having anything to hide. Governments have a very poor track record on data safety. They already know, or are finding out, things they don't need to know and shouldn't. I got asked for bank statements by the DWP - when they've just been given ridiculously broad powers to look at people's bank accounts. "Oh, he's got an ISA, he might be hiding 1000s'.

Yeah. I didn't immediately declare it, granted, but that's because mine has precisely 1p in it, and has had since March '22. I got it years ago and I keep it open just in case. But in fact my bank balance has never even reached 5 figures. I mean never.

I get that it is important to uncover all those doing dodgy things but essentially the government are labelling everyone as that and at the end of the day it is invading my privacy.

What you calling our beloved labour party.:erm:

Re: UK trying to access your private data on Apple.
 

Are we discussing the Investigatory Powers (Amendment) Act 2024 that received Royal Assent in April 2024?

Re: UK trying to access your private data on Apple.
 

Well, we can't have it both ways can we. To uncover dodgy activity we're going to have to accept innocuous things no longer being private or retain our privacy and accept that terrorist plots, paedophile activity etc etc will go undetected.

I have asked if anyone has ideas for a third way that satisfies both, but nobody seems to have any suggestions.

Re: UK trying to access your private data on Apple.
 

You make the same mistake as the idiots requesting this.
It WILL NOT suddenly stop "terrorist plots, paedophile activity etc etc".
They will simply move on to using something else, all that will be affected is OUR privacy.

There is no "third way". The answer is as simple as its always been, leave it alone.
