Apple will pull out of the UK before implementing a back door.

Oh sure our authoritarian government can pretend these orders apply worldwide but in practice they simply don’t. The richest company on Earth can afford to just not do business here anymore and be beyond the reach of Two Tier Kier.

Word of warning though. As these orders are secret you must assume every cloud provider on Earth has been served the same notice to break encryption. Don’t trust any of them. They can’t all afford to not comply as Apple is doing.

The ONLY way to protect your data is local encrypted storage with ghost and dummy partitions. It’s really simple to do and when Comrade Starmers woke police come knocking to look at your data they can go get fucked.
