       If you’re in the UK, cancel your iCloud subscription.(Or the government will have access to all your data. Just like how things work in China.)Your best bet is to take offline backups yourself as any cloud service provider that does business in the UK will have to either do the same or leave the market.https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgj54eq4vejoPS. This is why we left the UK ten years ago. So we could on our own terms and wouldn’t have to do so later on. https://ar.al/notes/so-long-and-thanks-for-all-the-fish/#UK #surveillance #Apple #icloud https://mastodon.social/@vascorsd/114042733377696746

       @aral "just like how it is in china" lmao sinophobic white imbeciles the world 'round. Meanwhile the only country on earth qualified as a "tankie" nation is the US, who have been using armored vehicles and tanks against peaceful protestors since tanks and armored vehicles have existed. 😆 If a nation/state is going to have my data, Im going to wager that nations that have NOT terrorized the world for 100+ years for PROFIT are better off with it.

       @milkman76 Yeah, how about we don’t fanboi any authoritarian regime or, heck, even not assume anyone’s ethnicity from their photo alone. In any case, you may go now.

       @aralRe: "If you’re in the UK, cancel your iCloud subscription."Surely even if you're not in the UK you should cancel your iCloud subscription. The government ordered a backdoor to iCloud accounts worldwide. The B.B.C. article even says "It is not clear that Apple's actions will fully address those concerns, as the IPA order applies worldwide and ADP will continue to operate in other countries"

       @adamsaidsomething The way they’ve complied doesn’t warrant that (no pun intended) at the moment. Then again, who knows what they’ll do next and who knows what other countries will now demand after this precedent.

       @aralWe can only rely on whistleblowers to know what they'll do next (tho we can make some pretty good guesses) since these things come with strict gag orders

       @Squozen First Sweden, then Ireland. (Nowhere’s perfect. And the way things are going, it looks like we’re all going to have to make a stand wherever we are sooner or later.)
