"Google refuses to deny it received encryption order from UK government"

The UK’s encryption-breaking order for a backdoor into iCloud isn’t a one-off.

The secret hearing happening RIGHT NOW is bigger than just Apple. If the government wins, our right to privacy and security falls.

Other services will be hit.

404 🆘

Blogs, forums and fedi instances are facing burdensome duties and penalties imposed by the UK #OnlineSafetyAct.

Despite being small and safely moderated, the Act sweeps them up into the same regime as platforms like Facebook and X. This is overkill, resulting in many shutting down or blocking UK users.

With the duties going live on 17 March, urgent action is required to exempt small sites.

Act NOW to #SaveOurSites🌐 ⬇️

Even personal blogs with comments are forced to undergo these difficult tests and compliance tasks. Getting it wrong or ignoring them could cost an operator their house – as fines can be imposed for failing to do them. As a result, many small websites in the UK are deciding to close down.

The battle for encryption happens TODAY. Your right to privacy and security will be decided behind your back.

We call for the hearing to be made public.

Encryption must be protected from this slippery slope.

"This is a significant test for the battle between law enforcement and technology.”

Holding the Apple case in secret makes the legal process more cloak and dagger, less scales and sword.

It makes it harder to challenge the UK government's order to break encryption and creates a dangerous precedent.

This case sets the stage for more shady encryption-breaking orders to be made.

📣 Break the silence: Save encryption!

The UK government wants to be able to access anything, anywhere, any time — from your pics to your docs.

It begins with Apple. Other services will be next. That's why we must take a stand NOW!

The message is clear across the political divide: let's hear it!

The UK government should argue in open court why they want to make us less secure by ordering a backdoor into Apple encryption.

A secret Tribunal would be an affront to the privacy and security issues at stake. It must be held in public.

UK MPs have joined the chorus of voices wanting the Apple case to be held in public.

"If the Home Office wants to have effectively unfettered access to the private data of the (innocent) general public, they should explain their case in front of the public."

🗣️ David Davis MP.

"People deserve to know what's happening to their private personal information."

🗣️ Victoria Collins MP.

📣 Make it public!

It's like people don't trust this Labour government at all, that we could believe they would abolish the WHOLE of the NHS.
We just don't trust them. Six months in and we know they're about the Rich and not about us. Occasionally we get little crumbs from the table, but it's not bold, it's not radical, and that is what we want now. Real Change, not more "Rich People get to win"

@zbrown Not necessarily. I know ppl like to judge #LibDems on the Clegg coalition. There r 2 problems w/ that. Clegg and Cable were no different to Blair, and on top of that were just Cameron stooges to give the tories a maj. Clegg was only in it for the Bentley and the office. Davey is a disabled carer and understands disability. I believe firmly that he has a different ethic to the 'democrat' animals that preceded him. I hope so, cos if I am proven wrong i'll just give up on #ukpolitics #UKPol

The “case implicates the privacy rights of millions of British citizens who use Apple’s technology, as well as Apple’s international users.”

“End-to-end encryption cannot be broken in a targeted manner – once a ‘backdoor’ into the system has been created, it can be exploited by anyone, putting the privacy and security of all users at risk.”

With such high stakes, we demand to know what could possibly justify it.

Will the last small site turn off the lights?

The UK Online Safety Act imposes the same duties and penalties on blogs, forums and fedi instances as huge platforms.

Many small, safely moderated sites will shut down or block UK users.

Crushing competition is the last thing we need for a safer Internet!

Act now before 17 March ⬇️
