If Apple complies with this, the UK government will gain access to all iCloud data globally. The only way Apple comes out of this with any integrity is to leave the UK market. If they give in to this, every regime in the world will demand the same thing. And that’s before we even get to the fact that there’s no such thing as a “backdoor” for just so-and-so. Either there is a door or there isn’t and if there is, anyone who obtains the key can use it.

UK demands ability to access Apple users’ encrypted data

Expert says government has ‘lit the blue touch paper on a truly enormous fight’ as it challenges firm’s privacy stance

^{Dan Milmo (The Guardian)}

This is what I think about whenever infosec wonks on here start telling people they should use matrix or xmpp+omemo or whatnot instead of signal

To be fair, I understand the arguments and to a large extent I agree with the critiques. However, I think anyone making these recommendations is vastly underestimating the capacity or appetite for most people to deal with the user experiences presented by these alternatives.

User experience is the ultimate force multiplier. For anything that requires network effects to function (ie most anything involving communication), if it doesn't *just work* then you've lost 90% of your audience.

Here it is: the Finnish Parliament has sided against #ChatControl !

I am overjoyed that in their statement, they have outlined exactly what this proposal would entail: mass surveillance in Europe.

From their statement (translation by me):

"..the suggested model would, in fact, lead to the mass surveillance of communication and would weaken the integrity of communication in the EU."
