UK government is trying to get into iCloud end-to-end encryption. (Again?)

Makes me think about email servers too. Most of my private information is in emails, and not only I use a service where the host machines access the email, so do almost everyone I email to/from.

I couldn't remember if UK gov have been trying to get access into iCloud e2e before; I'm sure they've been getting to mandate access to other encryption previously.

Not signal specifiaclly, but they said they would shutter operations in the uk if the online "safety" bill passed. @[email protected] has posted a lot about it.
