Reminder that you don’t need to use iCloud backup; local backups still work fine and are encrypted.
I don’t think it’s just the backups. Apple’s site says it’s things “such as” wallet, notes, photos, documents, bookmarks, reminders, voice memos, shortcuts, messages backup, and device backup. The such as seems to imply there’s more.
but I thought apple were the good guys /s
tbh if the government demanded fediverse servers do this then they'll probably comply as well, I really don't think this is apple's fault as much as i hate them and every similar tech megacorps
Bur what about servers that are not based in the UK? They are not officiallly doing business there, they just happen to be accessible from there. And with Fediverse, you can specifically choose a server that suits your jurisdiction needs.
I don't think so
I kind of think going no encryption is arguably better than agreeing to a backdoor, since it should make it clear to consumers that they can’t trust it as safe and should probably use an alternative that would be more secure. I don’t know how many trustworthy alternatives really exist on iOS, though, not least because Apple has allegedly used their position to discourage competitors to iCloud.
