UK government demands access to Apple users' encrypted data
www.bbc.co.uk
The Home Office served the notice to the tech giant under the Investigatory Powers Act.

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.

    Can you tell me which endpoint/region that you used? Cuz I just tried using a VPN endpoint from Switzerland Sweden and Ukraine and all three of them brought up a requirement to have a verification email

    edit: disregard apparently it was a browser issue, switched from Firefox to Chrome and reconnected to a Switzerland endpoint and it let me solve a captcha instead of using email verification system

      Mullvad us Denver 205.

      I’m also using their encrypted dns though that shouldn’t matter. Recording an email might be a regulatory requirement of the intelligence sharing treaties of the eu and broader eurozone.

      Try an endpoint outside of the western world and see what happens!

        Yeah weirdly enough it ended up being a browser issue, Firefox wasn’t able to use anything but email verification/phone number verification but Chrome was able to offer a captcha in place of it
