UK trying to access your private data on Apple.
UK demands access to Apple users' encrypted data.

The UK government has demanded to be able to access encrypted data stored by Apple users worldwide in its cloud service.

Currently only the Apple account holder can access data stored in this way - the tech giant itself cannot view it.

Personally I dont use Apple, but IMO the UK govt is way out of order and Apple should tell them to "shove it".

Apple are big and wealthy enough to fight this off like they did when the FBI came knocking. It would interesting to see what they would do if Trump did something similar.

Fair enough, Apple users are a bit suspect.

Yes, are Apple and Google as vulnerable to US state appropriation of data in a similar way to China with TikTok or does their size preclude this?

Re: UK trying to access your private data on Apple.
How exactly would this work, would the government have access to everyone's data for no particular reason or would it be for people suspected of criminal activity?

They'll tell you its the second reason, but in reality, it'll be the first.

Bang out of order. The government know enough about us already. This is not good.

Re: UK trying to access your private data on Apple.
What have folks got to hide? Undeclared income? dodgy torrent data? Or even worse?
The Govt knows best surely?

You can, Freedom of Information Act. Maybe the Govt wants it to work both ways?
