It’s scary in that they don’t understand why that’s a bad idea, but it’s kind of stupid in that Apple probably can’t, if Apple implemented E2EE at all correctly.
Assuming that’s true, they can demand all they want, but you can’t just:
if government_order == true: iCloud.unlock()…assuming they use any of the usual encryption algorithms.
What is interesting is that they’ve ordered Apple to do it but (maybe) not Google, which has a much larger share of Android users in Europe. Is the UK iOS-heavy?

Encoded would be the proper term then.

For those of you not in the UK, or unfamiliar, its important to understand just how intrusive the gvmt are in terms of privacy and how intrusive they want to be. We are world leaders in gvmt led privacy oppression.
We’re not far behind you and firing up a gasoline engine in a runners marathon going the wrong way, too.
