Washington Post:

Security officials in the United Kingdom have demanded that Apple create a back door allowing them to retrieve all the content any Apple user worldwide has uploaded to the cloud…

The British government’s undisclosed order, issued last month, requires blanket capability to view fully encrypted material, not merely assistance in cracking a specific account, and has no known precedent in major democracies.

One of the things I hate most about Britain and its governmentsAnd it is governments. Several governments, across both political parties, have tried their best to add encryption back doors. is its weird anti-privacy obsession.

It feels like every few years they try and do something awful around encryption or spying on citizens.
