The solution is to stop putting your data on other people’s computers. You can’t control other people’s computers. Apple does not care about you any more than any other trillion dollar corpo. Take back control.
The very funny thing Apple could do in response to this is allow people to self-host iCloud data storage. They do make privacy a huge part of their advertising after all. The chances of this happening are astronomically low though.
Like back when they sold Time Capsules as a home backup solution? I could sort of see that happening. You can already backup the phones to a Macintosh. I don’t think that would stop the UK government demanding a backdoor to the product, though.
Nothing they can backdoor when the data (and encryption) is out of their control, is there?
I’m going to play devils advocate for Apple here because unfortunately I do know exactly what would happen if they were to do that. If they release any official tool or even ability to do that, and somebody gets all their data stolen because their home backup solution was not secured properly, all the headlines will read something like “Apples iCloud backup system hacked, user has all data stolen”, and 98.5% of the general public will assume that includes apples actual cloud ICloud backup system, will NOT understand that the user himself is at fault, and their reputation will tank.
Sounds like it’s time to leak a bunch of politician nudes to show them why encryption matters.
Ah, the Fapening II… Merkel is already in the list.
What are the chances of seeing Liz only wearing her truss?
Lettuce pray chances are zero
I’m poking my eyes out just to be safe
Backdoors: making insecure software on purpose.
I would tell them to use syncthing for moving their files around, but apple ecosystem is apparently too locked down for good software.
Yeah, iOS/iPadOS isn’t great for that, so far as I can tell. I spent am unreasonable amount of time the other day trying to work out how to get the Obsidian vault on my iPad to sync with the vault in my SyncThing folder. Still not entirely happy with my setup. In fairness though, I’m running SyncThing on three computers, and two of them are Macs. So its solid on there.
But other than that, SyncThing isn’t a great replacement for iCloud Drive because you can’t choose what you download. So if I have 200gb in my ST folder I can’t sync it with my 128gb phone.

did you try to use syncthing’s filters?
I didn’t.
I must admit, I don’t really know how it all works and am mostly just blindly picking my way through, appreciating what works at this moment in time.
Roight, you got a loicense for them keys bruv?
It’s the country where the prime minister leaked the meeting ID of the unsecured cabinet meeting.. They really don’t get security.
In our defence, Boris Johnson is an idiot cunt.
