Apple Suggest They Will Withdraw iMessage and FaceTime In UK If Law Changes Go Ahead - Lemmy.world

Apple has said planned changes to British surveillance laws could affect iPhone users’ privacy by forcing it to withdraw security features, which could ultimately lead to the closure of services such as FaceTime and iMessage in the UK.

Everyone commeting here saying “good, we will switch to X” is absolutely stupid. This law means no iMessage, no Signal, no WhatsApp, no Telegram, no secure encrypted messaging for anyone.

Good luck enforcing that.

Anyway the criminals are just going to switch to something else so this law is useless
