Trump-Macron Ukraine Meeting & Colony Ridge Raided | 2.25.25

Yeah, you know, that was quite something because we're talking about an unprecedented request here, something that really no other democratic nation has demanded.

That includes messages, notes, photos, iPhone backups, things like that. ADP renders all of that indecipherable to anyone who isn't the user. But then last month, according to whistleblowers, the British government asked Apple to create a backdoor mechanism to allow them to bypass that encryption in order to access the private user data.

Now, this request was reportedly made last month, but Apple hadn't disclosed it until a few days ago when they announced that they weren't going to comply because they say that once a backdoor like this exists, it's only a matter of time before bad actors beyond government agencies learn how to use it.
