<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/02/how-to-get-imessage-quantum-security-1.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600)</div><p>Apple today announced (https://9to5mac.com/2025/02/21/apple-removing-end-to-encryption-uk/) that it has removed its Advanced Data Protection feature in the UK. The decision comes after the UK government ordered (https://9to5mac.com/2025/02/07/british-government-secretly-ordered-apple-to-create-a-worldwide-icloud-backdoor/) Apple to build a worldwide backdoor into iCloud encryption. Instead of complying with that order, Apple chose to remove the feature in the UK. </p> <p>There’s a huge piece of nuance getting missed in a lot of the coverage of today’s announcement. Apple is not “removing end-to-end encryption” from the UK as some headlines have suggested. The company is removing the Advanced Data Protection feature, yes, but that feature exists separately from Apple’s broader end-to-end encryption efforts.</p> <a data-layer-pagetype="post" data-layer-postcategory="" data-layer-viewtype="unknown" data-post-id="991389" href="https://9to5mac.com/2025/02/21/apple-end-to-end-encryption-uk/#more-991389" class="more-link">more…[/url] Source: Everything you need to know about Apple’s changes to encryption in the UK (https://9to5mac.com/2025/02/21/apple-end-to-end-encryption-uk/) |
