Well, now you could of course conclude that encryption mechanisms will not be suspended as long as a state has no interest in the secrets of its citizens. This leads to the realization that we are well protected when we don’t need it and have no protection when we do.

Hello Matteo,
Thank you for the considerations and efforts that have been made by the team.
About the web app: Apple has managed to allow Photos on the web even with ADP turned on. Has Apple reserved that functionality only for its apps?
Good news
What could Apple have done in the UK that you would deem good?
They were demanded by a government to cede an E2EE backdoor into iCloud-ADP and instead of complying they completely pulled the service from the country.
As far as we know, no data was handed to authorities (since they did not have the keys in the first place).
Do you expect Apple to fight governments?
Unfortunately, yes. We’ve reached out to Apple but haven’t received a response yet.

hi Matteo, is there an ETA for the release of a live version of Bear that supports ADP?
I’m really hoping that it’s sooner than later! Hopefully we see it before the year ends.

They were demanded to make a backdoor to iCloud for ALL accounts. Instead of complying, they pulled ADP.
I think they should have just refused to make a backdoor.
