Comment on The UK Government Just Made Everyone Less Safe As Apple Shuts Down iCloud Encryption

This is why a government needs an actual technical expert. What UK has done is make icloud less safe for everyone, while the “criminal” activity they seem to want to be privy to will force criminals to use another method of data transfer/securing.

That’s the stupid part. Serious criminals will always find a way to encrypt their data. Any communication channel can be used for encrypted communication if you do the encryption part yourself (like with an agreed upon passphrase or something similar). The only people who are hit by this are the average users.
This makes me so mad.
