UK government demands Apple backdoor to encrypted cloud data: report | TechCrunch

Apple is likely to stop providing its encrypted cloud service to U.K. users

I currently use Telegram for my friends and family, but have reluctantly come to the conclusion that the UK Government is either reaching agreement for backdoors with messaging services, or is trying its hardest to.

I’m also on Element/Matrix. Before I try to get my contacts to join me on there, should I be aware of any privacy issues or is that a good place to head?

    The most privacy focused messaging app I know is SimpleX Chat, it has no user IDs, is FOSS, e2e encrypted with an option to use TOR, give it a try!

      Simplex was bubbling about implementing CSAM. Any client mentioning it is not safe, period… Child safety and hate speech is always an excuse for tolitarian regimes ( sittenpolizei ) never a true approach for solving the issue ( child safety )
