Sky · Apple vs Home Office encryption court battle must be held in public, say MPs
Continued thread
Continued thread
To explain: Apple withdrew ADP from the UK, which means the UK can continue to request any data they like regarding UK citizens.
The problem is that the UK claimed jurisdiction over Apple encryption globally, saying the UK had a right to request any data from Apple from anyone across the globe they have an interest in.

38 DegreesKeep our Apple data encryptedIt is reported that the Home Office has ordered Apple to build a backdoor into its encrypted services so that they can get hold of content that any Apple user has upload to the cloud.
Encryption keeps our private information safe and secure. It’s essential for being safe online when sending messages, shopping, doing online banking – and for storing things safely in the cloud. With the Cabinet Office estimating the cost of Cyber Crime at £21BN a year to our economy, we can’t afford to make our...

Privacy InternationalPrivacy International’s letter to the UK Home Office demanding transparency on Technical Capability NoticesWe believe the Government's position of refusing to confirm or deny the existence of the Technical Capability Notice or acknowledge Apple's appeal is untenable and violates principles of transparency and accountability.

With the whole #ukpol on #e2ee forcing #apple to disable #adp and #usa going mad under #trump many seem to switch to #Signal over #WhatsApp.
But it seems still most people do not realize that if you use #Outlook, #Gmail, #Yahoo etc those very same governments have full access to everything that ever went through your mailbox.
Over at @privacyguides we have some good recommendations to switch to.

End-to-end #encryption battle continues.
#Apple appeals a United Kingdom government order to create a back door in the #iCloud storage service. As we learned last month, those pesky Brits are demanding Apple break its end-to-end encryption, also known as Advanced Data Protection (#ADP).
(We only know this because secret sources spoke to Tim Bradshaw and Lucy Fisher. Said secret sources revealed the secret complaint to the UK’s Investigatory Powers Tribunal, appealing the secret order—in secret.)
As always with attempts to break #E2EE, the math ain’t mathing. In #SBBlogwatch, we worry about dumb pols: https://securityboulevard.com/2025/03/apple-appeals-uk-adp-richixbw/?utm_source=richisoc&utm_medium=social&utm_content=richisoc&utm_campaign=richisoc

National Cyber Security Centre is generally excellent. But it seems that between 23 and 27 Feb, it took down its security advice for law firms (a key attack point given their access to sensitive client documents) which (rightly) highlighted Apple’s Advanced Data Protection #ADP…

#Apple pulls end-to-end #encryption in #UK, spurning backdoors for gov’t spying
Ars Technica · Apple pulls data protection tool instead of caving to UK demand for a backdoor
Apple entfernt seine höchste »Sicherheitsstufe« für Nutzerdaten in UK, nachdem die Regierung Zugriff auf Daten forderte. Die »Advanced Data Protection« (ADP) stellt durch Ende-zu-Ende-Verschlüsselung sicher, dass nur Kontoinhaber auf ihre gespeicherten Fotos oder Dokumente zugreifen können. Das gilt nun nicht mehr.
www.bbc.comApple pulls data protection tool after UK government security rowCustomers' photos and documents stored online will no longer be protected by end-to-end encryption.
The problem with the debate over Apple's withdrawal of Advanced Data Protection is its presented as; either we have encrypted privacy or we don't.
While the UK wanted to break the privacy lock, it did attach a clear legal process to demand(s); but I suspect Apple's main problem was the extraterritorial reach of the proposed capacity.
Critics rightly worry about state snooping; supporters point to criminal & abusive activity.
But in a polarised debate there can now be no middle ground?
