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.
