Stolen iPhone + Advanced Data Protection = locked out digital life? One user is suing Apple for $5M & data access after a thief changed his Recovery Key. He argues Apple can still recover his 2TB, despite ADP rules.

Usual irrelevant waffle and 💩 from the @ukhomeoffice.bsky.social on the Investigatory Powers Tribunal #Apple decision this morning #IPT #ADP #E2EE

A Home Office spokesperson said:  
 
“We do not comment on legal proceedings. Nor do we comment on operational matters, including confirming or denying the existence of individual notices.
  
"The government’s first priority is to keep people safe. There are longstanding and targeted investigatory powers that allow the authorities to investigate terrorists, paedophiles and the most serious criminals and they are subject to robust safeguards including judicial authorisations and oversight to protect people’s privacy. Those powers have saved lives, prevented incredibly serious terrorist plots against the UK, and put dangerous criminals behind bars.  
 
“We have made clear that those targeted investigatory powers alongside strong judicial safeguards must be sustained as technology changes, as they continue to be essential to keeping our country safe. Technology companies need be able to innovate and improve security, but unilateral moves which prevent investigations into terrorism or serious child abuse put public safety at grave risk. These powers are purely about preventing serious crime and pursuing criminals, and do not affect our commitment to free speech.
 
“The Investigatory Powers Act and Technical Capability Notices allow the UK to maintain existing and long standing counter-terrorism and serious crime investigative capabilities in the face of fast changing technology, especially when we know that terrorists and child abusers organise and seek to hide evidence of their Background:   
 
Investigatory powers are long-standing legal powers available to law enforcement, the intelligence services (MI5, SIS, and GCHQ), and other public authorities, to investigate the most serious crimes – including but not limited to the interception of communications. Terrorists, paedophiles and the most dangerous criminals operate in the shadows to avoid being detected. These powers are subject to strong safeguards and oversight, including a requirement for judicial authorisation (the ‘double lock’) - but are vitally necessary to save lives against the most dangerous criminals and terrorists who seek to do our country and our people harm 
For many years, the UK government has had the power to place requirements on telecommunications operators to assist with national security and law enforcement, for example in the Telecommunications Act 1984. These powers ensure companies can respond to judicially authorised requests for data. 
Increasingly these individuals are using the latest technologies, including end-to-end encrypted messaging, to avoid being detected – that is why the government must ensure its long-standing powers (including warrants) can still be used effectively to protect the public.  The powers will always be used, and are required to be used, in a proportionate way subject to strong oversight 
We support tech innovation, including encryption, and its benefits – but carefully targeted, judicially-approved data access for the purpose of protecting pe

BOOOOM! UK Investigatory Powers Tribunal dismisses with extreme prejudice (§43) the UK #HomeOffice attempt to cover up the case brought by #Apple against the global snooping order from the Home Office against Advanced Data Protection 🚀 h/t @kind.ac #IPT #ADP #E2EE www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/u...

#ADP employment report (of private employers) shows a gain of 155K jobs, which is better than expected. This is not an indicator of how the BLS report, this Friday, will be. ADP uses its own (anonymized) clients' payrolls to track employment, while the BLS is a broader indicator including public employment.

In other news, GDPNow's forecast is -3.7%.

In other, other news, the Beveridge Curve remains vertical.

Though weird, it's possible GDP goes down but unemployment is stable.

#USEconomy

GDPNow chart showing a steep dive in the projected Q1-2025 GDP over two weeks, now at -3.7%, following four weeks of the projection floating between -1.8% and -2.1%.Beveridge Curve showing, since Nov 2021, the curve being broadly vertical, meaning despite fluctuations in the jobs openings rate from ~4.1% - 7.4%, the unemployment rate has had very little movement between ~3.5 - 4.2%. Normally, the curve would negatively correlate openings to the unemployment rate. This suggests a lot of backlog of work.

So the english gov are going to base #UniversalCredit disability payments on the pip assessment, which they are also making far harsher. Regardless of all this being a massive fuck you to the poorest in society how the hell is that going to work in #Scotland ? Most people, myself included are now on our much fairer #ADP system, will UC honor the ADP assessment or is this another way to put people through the trauma of #PIP even if we no longer claim it? #disability

The UK government claim to global reach is what the case appears to be about. Good on #Apple for contesting the claim.

To explain: Apple withdrew ADP from the UK, which means the UK can continue to request any data they like regarding UK citizens.

The problem is that the UK claimed jurisdiction over Apple encryption globally, saying the UK had a right to request any data from Apple from anyone across the globe they have an interest in.

With the whole on forcing to disable and going mad under many seem to switch to over .

But it seems still most people do not realize that if you use , , etc those very same governments have full access to everything that ever went through your mailbox.

Over at @privacyguides we have some good recommendations to switch to.

I agree with #jasminecrockett that this is a freaking nightmare.
Quote #leolaporte from #securitynow #podcast in context of #adp removal from Apple in UK in expectation of what might happen in the #USA :
"This is is a weapon, we now have a #weaponized #law #enforcement in the United States. This is the time to download some #secure #encryption and start paying attention to your privacy because law enforcement's going to go after their enemies." ( See: twit.tv/shows/security-now/epi )
