Your Takeaway
- UK Law enforcement will be able to examine any UK user’s data stored in Apple’s iCloud.
- Any law enforcement or agency from any country will be able to examine any UK user’s data stored in Apple’s iCloud.
- Techs with access, on minimum wage, who work in the data centre will be able to examine any UK user’s data stored in Apple’s iCloud.
- UK Criminals, who have any tech-savvy or can buy in tech-savvy, will have moved their incriminating information by now – or they did not use iCloud in the first place.
I have already deleted some sensitive or personal information, such as copies of my passport, drivers license, family and company documents, photos etc., I had stored in Apple’s encrypted storage and made other arrangements.
Do I think anyone will access that information? No. But I would sooner know that my most sensitive information is my secret.
