2025-02-21

Arrr, me hearties! The scallywags be forced to dance to the tune o’ the UK’s snoopin’ laws, makin’ ‘em open the treasure chest o’ secrets! Here’s the booty o’ knowledge we’ve plundered so far! Avast!

Ahoy there, mateys! News be afloat that Apple, that fine purveyor of shiny treasures, be pullin' its Advanced Data Protection feature from the shores of the UK! Aye, it seems the crown demanded a sneaky backdoor to peek into the encrypted plunder of ye scallywags, and Apple, ever the gallant ship, hath refused to comply.

As of this day, February 21, 2025, no fresh-faced users in the UK can access this precious feature, and the ol' sea dogs who’ve been usin’ it shall soon be left high and dry! Apple be lamentin’ this turn of events, for they know well the rising tide of data breaches and the dire need for secure havens for their customers’ secrets.

Despite the winds of change, some treasures shall remain safe; iCloud messages and health data be protected, but alas, iCloud backups and photos will be vulnerable to prying eyes. Aye, 'tis a shame indeed! Over a hundred hearty souls, experts and organizations alike, have called upon the crown to rethink its decree – but the powers that be remain steadfast.

So, keep yer cutlasses sharp and yer data safer, for the seas of technology be treacherous, and ye ne’er know when a rogue wave might strike!
