@SeanVitka I'm old enough to remember when Apple wouldn't unlock a terrorist's phone for the FBI...

@SeanVitka Thanks for sharing this, @SystemUpdate_! It's essential to spotlight these issues. We must safeguard our digital privacy and security from such invasive demands.

@SeanVitka That was interesting! Thanks Lee. Remember the media around Apple not releasing to the feds after San Bernadino? The public was terrified and they really used that fear!

Matt Little1 year ago

@SeanVitka In the case of Apple vs FBI on San Bernardino, the phone in question belonged to the county public health department where the shooter was an inspector. No MDM on the device. Day 1 security was not in place.

The demand was simple but devastating. Create a backdoor into iCloud that would let the UK government access any user's data. Not just UK citizens. All 1.5 billion Apple users worldwide. The penalties for refusing were brutal:

Minister Marc Miller says the Safe Social Media Act balances age verification with privacy, will not break encryption, and excludes private messaging. However, Apple and Meta warn Bill C-22 could break encryption and weaken private messaging protections.

10 Shocking Stories the Media Buried This Week #10 – UK government BUSTED in a secret plot to extract personal data from 2 billion iPhone users. They were this close to your “encrypted” data. This story begins when the UK govt hit Apple with a secret gag order, forcing them to either backdoor encrypted data for billions of users or face criminal charges if they refused to comply. Apple couldn’t even talk about it. The order demanded Apple create a vulnerability in its iCloud encryption, which would have given the UK government a back door to financial information, health records, and private conversations—not just of UK citizens but of two billion iPhone users worldwide. Remember, the UK government has already tried to threaten and extradite individuals outside the UK for violating British censorship laws—including US citizens over their online posts. So what happens when governments push to punish you not just for what you say publicly but for what you say privately? Rather than handing over the data of 2 billion iPhone users to the UK government, Apple chose to pull its Advanced Data Protection (ADP) in the UK—removing the option for UK users to enable encryption. Existing UK users must now disable encryption, and new users won’t have the option at all. US citizens and people in other countries remain unaffected by the UK government’s dystopian push to surveil and censor speech—for now. The UK government was this close to surveilling you, too—but luckily, Sayer Ji, Elon Musk, and The Wall Street Journal exposed this privacy nightmare. In another disturbing development, Imran Ahmed of the CCDH—one of the leading architects of the UK’s war on speech—is being awarded for his Orwellian efforts with a $300,000 prize this May. Sayer Ji has put together a petition to oppose this absurd aggrandizement of someone who has worked tirelessly to annihilate personal freedoms and silence dissenting voices. You can sign that petition here: (See 9 More Revealing Stories Below)

The UK Government Just Lost Its War on Your Privacy. Here's How America Stopped It. A chilling precedent was just set—and then defeated. The UK government, under its authoritarian Online Safety Act, made an unprecedented global power grab. They demanded Apple create a "backdoor" to break into the encrypted data of ANY user, ANYWHERE in the world. iCloud photos, messages, notes—nothing would be safe. They wanted the keys to the kingdom. Apple's response? They refused to compromise their users' security and instead REMOVED Advanced Data Protection entirely for UK citizens. They chose to deny a service rather than build a tool for tyranny. This is how they always operate: they sell these draconian measures by targeting "pedophiles" and "criminals." But in reality, who do they arrest? People criticizing the government. People questioning protests. People sharing "wrong" memes. It was never about safety; it was about control. But here's the update that proves the global stakes of this fight: The UK has BACKED DOWN. Why? Because of direct intervention from the United States. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, alongside the President and VP, engaged in high-level talks to protect AMERICAN citizens from this foreign overreach. The result? The UK has DROPPED its mandate. For now, our private data remains private. Our constitutional rights were defended on the world stage. This is a stark reminder: ➤ The fight for free speech and privacy is now global. Digital borders are meaningless to authoritarians. ➤ Your security was protected because a company (Apple) said NO and a government (the U.S.) had the will to stand up for its principles. ➤ The UK's Online Safety Act is still active, creating a digital dark age for British citizens. Platforms like Gab have already completely BLOCKED all UK users to protect them from government coercion and jail time for "hate speech." The question every American must ask: Would this have happened under an administration that openly advocates for censoring "misinformation" and monitoring online speech? The UK's best hope, according to free speech advocates there, now lies with the Trump administration. The beacon of freedom is still burning, but it is under constant attack. This victory is critical, but the war for the soul of the internet is far from over.

The quantum conversation is no longer hypothetical for security leaders. Data being collected now could be decrypted by attackers later. On Ep. 41 of The Main Scoop, Daniel Newman, Greg Lotko, and Tom Cosenza break down Y2Q and what “harvest now, decrypt later” really means. Quantum has the potential to transform fields like medicine and materials science, but it also threatens the present-day encryption standards. Shor’s algorithm could break RSA encryption. And even symmetric encryption becomes increasingly vulnerable with advances such as Grover’s algorithm.

And he’s right that this is why people were leaking on her and attempting to get rid of her from her position as DNI. Tulsi Gabbard is the real deal.
