ComputerworldApple: Proposed UK law is a ‘serious, direct threat’ to security, privacyApple has major concerns about new UK government surveillance laws, which it argues are so over-reaching that tech firms can't possibly meet their requirements.
Several years ago everyone agreed that unencrypted data flow is dangerous and #internet as a whole should avoid it. #TLS spreaded everywhere. Now it is default and unencrypted traffic is marked as not secure.
(Sometimes I have to agree to 3-4 warning popups to log into some development service in internal network via http 
)
I wonder when we finally agree the same about #MessagingApps and when we would understand #e2ee should be a standard. And messaging apps without #encryption should also have big red scary warnings to discourage people from using these. People should know before they send something what would be used against them in the future.
