The BBC is wrong.

The data will still be encrypted, but the decryption keys will be available to government.

That’s a very big difference. They make it sound like anyone can see your stuff when this happens.

To be concise the UK demands the right to spy on its citizens.

This fits in perfectly with their prohibitions on speech, eliminating ownership of tools to defend yourself, high taxation, etc.

Is Keir Starmer related to Nicholas Maduro? The kind of look alike…

But earlier this month the UK government asked for the right to see the data, which currently not even Apple can access.

NEVER forget when Obama bin laden was spying on candidate Trump it was with the help of the Brits not to mention the Christopher Steele connection.

The Brits are BAD actors.

It was my understanding that Team Obama was using the Brits for unconstitutional "backdoor" warrants that if done legally in the US would have required FISA warrants which were of course eventually obtained.

The use of these "backdoor" warrants was not the brainchild of the Obama administration but had been initiated early under the Cheney/Bush Crime Family.

As we know the Patriot Act was a misnomer because it was abused by the opposite of patriots.

I always hoped more details of the events of 2015-2016 unconstitutional spying would come out if Trump took back the WH.

If so, the Brits will be seen as the vicious spy state that it is all the while still giving us lectures on how bad Putin is and how he goes after domestic political enemies.

Fascist police state. That’s what happens when you have no Second Amendment guarantees.

So Apple *IS* a bunch of cowards who will bow to government Fascism, so long as it isn't our government wanting to see terrorist data.

Apple is helping the British Fascists suppress free speech and helping them to spy on their citizens.

Remember all that posturing from Apple some years ago when the FBI wanted to see inside a terrorist's cell phone?

Lots of speeches and moral posturing, and now they have capitulated to a government even more intrusive and less respecting of rights than our own.
