Interestingly, Signal’s stance on what it will do in case the Bill goes unchanged seems to now hint that they’ll try to support 🇬🇧 citizens in the same way that they do for those in regimes such as Iran.

@openrightsgroup #E2EE is critical. The CSAM argument is a straw-man.

On #iOS, for anyone unaware of it, there is a setting you have to turn on to encrypt #iCloud. This should be on by default imo.

Advanced Data Protection iCloud encrypts your data to keep it secure. Advanced Data Protection uses end-to-end encryption to ensure that the iCloud data types listed here can only be decrypted on your trusted devices, protecting your information even in the case of a data breach in the cloud. Learn how encryption is used. Because Apple will not have the keys required to recover your data, you will be guided through verification of your recovery methods in case you ever lose access to your account.

@Jdreben @openrightsgroup am not even using their cloud service. Backup service I use, all gets encrypted before it’s sent over. There will be data breaches, it’s an inevitability, so not relying on third party storage for encryption.

@h_bueler yeah that’s smart
