Like, there’s a lot of people freaking out about Apple ending End to End encryption in iCloud in UK. I’m just like: So What? It was probably backdoored from the beginning

So is Big Tech’s E2E actually not backdoored? Or is that just a PR stunt to trick people into trusting iCloud, and this is a secret honeypot? 🤔

What are your thoughts?

    In any case a service that implement E2EE is always more secure than plain data transit Even with a backdoor it’s a bit more secure than regular service

    But you should be angry against the UK law cause of the probable future consequences that will impose even further surveillance for other services But people that defend it are probably mainly Apple fans. Apple is “against” to maintain a “privacy” friendly company against google and meta, but it’s bullshit

      Apple’s datacenters have been untrustworthy for a long time, at this point any breaches or data sales of user data is as much the user’s fault. But yeah, from what I’ve seen, corporations never make moves to primarily benefit the consumer, society, state law or otherwise. Only self profit. Sometimes aligning with demand improves profit.
