  @openrightsgroup #E2EE is critical. The CSAM argument is a straw-man.
  On #iOS, for anyone unaware of it, there is a setting you have to turn on to encrypt #iCloud. This should be on by default imo.

  1. End-to-end encryption (E2EE) stops anyone but the sender and recipient reading the message. Police, the government and some high-profile child protection charities maintain the tech - used in apps such as WhatsApp and Apple's iMessage - prevents law enforcement and the firms themselves from identifying the sharing of child sexual abuse material. But in a statement Apple said: "End-to-end encryption is a critical capability that protects the privacy of journalists, human rights activists, and diplomats. "It also helps everyday citizens defend themselves from surveillance, identity theft, fraud, and data breaches. The Online Safety Bill poses a serious threat to this protection, and could put UK citizens at greater risk. "Apple urges the government to amend the bill to protect strong end-to-end encryption for the benefit of all." The government has previously said: "Tech companies have a moral duty to ensure they are not blinding themselves and law enforcement to the unprecedented levels of child sexual abuse on their platforms." And Home Office ministers have been highly critical of Facebook's roll-out of the tech for messaging.

  2. Advanced Data Protection iCloud encrypts your data to keep it secure. Advanced Data Protection uses end-to-end encryption to ensure that the iCloud data types listed here can only be decrypted on your trusted devices, protecting your information even in the case of a data breach in the cloud. Learn how encryption is used. Because Apple will not have the keys required to recover your data, you will be guided through verification of your recovery methods in case you ever lose access to your account.
