Apple pulls iCloud end-to-end encryption feature for UK users after government demanded backdoor
In an unprecedented step, Apple caved to a reported U.K. government’s demand to prevent users from using end-to-end encryption in iCloud.
Allowing tech giants to monopolize all of our communications was a mistake that was always going to lead to this. What alternatives do we have? There's grapheneOS, but even that is placing too much trust in Google's proprietary aspects of the hardware. I wish non-android linux phones were at a usable state.
I'm so close to ditching android and smart phones entirely in favour of a dumb Nokia and maybe a mini tablet for when I need the power.
Fairphone + degoogled rom is the best bet until linux phones can be daily drivers
You can, on certain devices, install /e/os/ and deGoogle everything.
There’s a new market for preinstalled devices popping up, too: https://cybernews.com/gadgets/murena-degoogled-pixel-tablet-launch
