You do wonder wtf they were thinking here and how they ever thought “btw it’s illegal to tell anyone about this order” would work, especially against people in the US
I mean the only option is completely grovel because the UK government completely overstepped their mark, on a topic these rich powerful American companies are already on the defensive over.
Which genius thought ordering an American tech firm to compromise their encryption or else would actually work?
>The US president has likened the UK’s order to Apple to “something . . . that you hear about with China”, saying in February that he had told Starmer: “You can’t do this.”
The day that Donald Trump actually says something semantically correct and YOU are the bad guy is the day that you need to fucking sober up and take fucking notice. Demanding tech companies create backdoors and remove their defenses so that the government can monitor and control all of your online activities “for reasons” is precisely what China, and Russia, and North Korea did. Encryption either exists or it doesn’t, you cannot safely create backdoors. The second you create exploitable holes in security, some asshat from China or Russia will be able to punch their way through and your security will be non-existant.
It will simply be too high risk to do any form of trade online. No more online banking, no more online shopping, no more chatting with friends across the world, no more email, no more working from home, etc. In fact, physical retail will collapse because most physical systems rely on digital systems for payments to be processed (chip and pin), hospital equipment to a certain extent. The government taking it’s extreme right wing stance on encryption would ultimately lead the UK to collapse into a Cuba-like state where we would be isolated from the world, unable to trade, with slow poor quality systems, and people would die as a consequence of our technology choices.
