Apple Just Pulled Advanced Data Protection in the UK!

Apple has officially removed Advanced Data Protection in the UK, a move that’s raising serious privacy concerns. This feature uses end-to-end encryption, preventing even Apple from accessing your iCloud data. But after pressure from the UK government, Apple has refused to create a secret backdoor—leading to this shocking decision.

So what does this mean for UK users? Apple Advanced Data Protection UK is now disabled, meaning iCloud data could be accessed by law enforcement with a warrant. Privacy experts warn this weakens security, while US politicians fear it could impact intelligence-sharing.

Is this a necessary step for law enforcement, or a dangerous privacy risk?
