Even Google cannot deny the British surveillance order

A British secret order requires Apple to build a backdoor into strong encryption of backups and other data.

There are now indications that Apple is not alone and that Google has also been served with a similar secret order.

From our dealing with the hard of thinking correspondent.

"Apple and other proponents of encryption have repeatedly said there is no possibility of breaking encryption on-demand in the way the UK appears to think it can. Encryption is either enabled or disabled."

The Register · Apple's alleged UK encryption battle sparks political and privacy backlashBy Connor Jones

I'd already begun my journey into transforming my online experience: data security, supporting ethical software/services, right to repair, degoogling, federation, etc. (May make ACCESSIBLE guides?)
But today was a big milestone for me because I've done something that, in it's current form (possibly on purpose), is pretty frustrating and inaccessible. I'd been eyeing PGP encryption for a variety functional and philosophical reasons (eg the creator was #punk ).
So I finally figured out how to make encryption keys, exchanged public keys with contacts, joined an XMPP server (XMPP is a similar federated protocol to email but with an SMS/text feel), downloaded DINO, a GUI (graphical user interface for Linux that does XMPP communication AND supports PGP encryption), signed in, subscribed to my contacts so we could enable PGP-encrypted communication, and started chatting.
Now, I can breathe and freely communicate knowing my messages are the most secure they've ever been.

"US politicians and privacy campaigners are calling for the private hearing between Apple and the UK government regarding its alleged encryption-busting order to be aired in public."

"Colloquially, the IPA is referred to as the Snooper's Charter since its aims are to legally empower intelligence agencies with greater surveillance powers."

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.

‘Absurd’

When you have the press and civil society camped outside the courtroom, the secret might be out 🤷

Even so, we’re still denied the reasons why the UK government wants to take a battering ram to our security and privacy.

It shows contempt for the public interest in the Apple encryption case.

UK’s secret iCloud backdoor order triggers civil rights challenge.

The UK government’s secret order to Apple demanding it backdoor the end-to-end encrypted version of its iCloud storage service is challenged by two civil rights groups, Liberty and Privacy International.

They called the order “unacceptable and disproportionate” and warned of “global consequences” as it's thought to extend to non-UK users too.

"Google refuses to deny it received encryption order from UK government"

The UK’s encryption-breaking order for a backdoor into iCloud isn’t a one-off.

The secret hearing happening RIGHT NOW is bigger than just Apple. If the government wins, our right to privacy and security falls.

Other services will be hit.
