Apple has withdrawn its Advanced Data Protection iCloud feature from the United Kingdom following government demands for backdoor access to encrypted...
The UK is part of 5 Eyes. They swap info on citizens among members. No warrants, no constitutional protections. All they have to do is ask MI5 for info on Americans with dual citizenship.
I don’t doubt that. But its still a large stretch, to think the UK passed a law applying to all UK citizens, specifically to give the US access to a few thousand dual citizens.
I’m thinking LoudWaterHombre was right. You simply have an extremely US centric mindset.
A better title would be “Apple helps the US government bypass the 4th amendment”.
Yeah we don’t have enough American news, we should start reframing other countries’ news into how it affects America
It affects certain people from America. I have a relative who is directly affected by this.
This is in the UK.
Not the US.

That stretch of logic sounds an awful lot, like a post-hoc justification after assuming it was about the US. But ok
One of my in-laws has dual England/US citizenship. They divide their time between the two countries. It directly effects them.

No no no, he’s just american and thinks the universe centers around the US
No, the only thing I wish would center around the US is an asteroid. I absolutely hate it here, but I don’t have the means to leave.
Does UK even have 4th am tho
No, but they’re part of 5 Eyes. The US government can ask MI5 to spy on US citizens, which gets around 4th amendment protections.
This will allow them to spy on any US citizens with dual citizenship.
Us citizen presumably still has access to encryption feature tho
Not if they are in the UK? Idk, that’s probably a weird edge case, but unless we’re all free, nobody is.
