Sounds like it’s time to leak a bunch of politician nudes to show them why encryption matters.

Apple Pulls Encrypted iCloud Security Feature in UK Amid Government Backdoor Demands
(www.macrumors.com)
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.
Or don't use someone's encryption if you don't have the private encryption key. Encrypt it yourself. But still then, it is only a matter of time when the encryption of your data is cracked. Could take years but if it is data someone really wants, one day it can be decrypten.
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.
