Privacy is a human right. That's why I think politicians shouldn't have any.
So polititians are not humans . . .
I agree.
Lmao. Good point
@TheSuperTiger2011 I agree about 99% of the current ones. but you can't really have any system without some politics. I just wish they would behave like people with a common goal of building something really good instead of the absolute filth that we see today.
@@ghosthunter0950 We need leaders. Not politicians.
@@ghosthunter0950 Current governments have failed us, the sole proof is that one puts its life in danger just by saying this. Whatever, society will find alternatives to the current global dystopia, I hope...
The fact that they’re not allowed to disclose the request legally, is what makes it obvious that it’s malicious.
Most ignored smart comment here, just getting ignored. It's an admission of evil, you're right.
Publicizing blackmailing attempts should be encouraged whenever possible.
it's absolutely awful but the idea that the US gov doesn't have a backdoor to apple is laughable. it's just whether another country gets access to it. even pegasus is able to get into apple devices.
@@oight it is quite different the us government receiving the information that apple tracks to the UK government forcing apple to track more so they can have more information.
Well lets be hypothetical for a moment. Lets say that it's not malicious, and work our way to the possibilities for why they would have the "not allowed to disclose the request (Remember we are assuming that it's 0% malicious for this).
Now, why would they want it to not be disclosed? We have to stop for a moment and understand why they would want the data in the first place. Non-malicious reasons include getting intel on terrorist groups, getting intel on other nations who may have malicious interest, etc. Those are just a few, but good enough for this hypothetical.
With those possibilities in mind, lets think of what could get in the way of these reasons. What could prevent this from working? Just one answer to this, is letting people know that they have this ability. The smarter groups and organizations would take steps to prevent this from affecting them in a meaningful way. Especially the smaller groups as switching to another device or platform for their communication of 5 to 50 to even 100 people, is much more realistic than the groups/organizations that have hundreds or thousands of members. If they know it's happening, then they can take some fairly easy steps to prevent it from having any impact. This ends the hypothetical.
I'm not actually going to argue one way or the other on if it's malicious or evil or etc in this case. Honestly since this is done by an actual government body, the actual answer is that it's a mix of good, malicious, preventative, evil, etc. Various people would have worked towards this and advocated for it for many differing reasons. I personally am against this type of data collection and monitoring, but for those who want something like this but aren't wanting it for nefarious reasons, I can easily understand why they would and where they are coming from. It doesn't mean I shall agree with them or change my mind. But it does mean that I won't brandish it evil, or only investigate one side that fits with my beliefs, or ignore any evidence that's contrary to my beliefs. That type of willful ignorance is what allows different political parties to so easily sway opinions of people who a year or two before may have stood on the opposite side of them. Because all it takes is one item that they agree with on a base level, which that person won't do any in depth research on (besides a quick google search or a single article or a single reddit post), to then shift their position. I also have a distaste for this type of thinking as it's what drives discrimination against different races, sexes, etc.

Having a backdoor to encryption defeats the entire purpose of encryption, which is safe communication over an unsecured network. Any and all back doors to any encryption standard are equivalent to using no encryption at all - worse even: They give you a false sense of security.
Technically they can use key encrypting keys, so that only you and your assigned fed can read your data. Just like LUKS with two user keys.
The argument is the backdoors can only be used by authorities against criminals.

Oh yeah. They’re very concerned with keeping kids safe from Encryption… Not so much gangs of grapey boat people.
“Free speech with consequences” and “CSAM detection” my ass, the private and bountiful flow of information for the layman should never be demonized.
The most sane way to implement not only CSAM but abuse material detection in general is not to break into user data itself, since you don't really want the data to be exposed to anything, even to authorities. Rather, comparing hashes and other black box/zero knowledge methods implement much more safer solutions not only for law enforcement but also for the victims as well. Police don't get traumatized and suffer mental and psychological trauma, and victims are shielded from further exposure of their abuse material.

Uk demands backdoor
Apple: No.use the front door like cia and nsa
It's funny cuz it's... pretty depressing actually.
you mean the sky. door that cia and nsa use?
😂😂
I doubt that CIA and NSA don't already have backdoors to Apple.
@@user-wz8hp2ix9f They may be possible but not probable.. the biggest being that apple like many others have bug bounties.
As a British citizen who works in IT security, it's concerning that our government dreamt up this request, let alone secretly issued it to Apple. It should have been pretty obvious-even to those in the government who don't understand the basics of how encryption itself works-that if Apple were to create a backdoor for government security agencies to bypass encryption, this would be very easy for malicious parties (if we're not already including a privacy-breaching government) to similarly access private data without authorisation. Moreover, if Apple were to comply with this and allow security agencies to clandestinely access people's iCloud data, a potential terrorist would instead use another encrypted communication service that was beyond the government's reach, and nothing would have been achieved besides weakening data security for millions of people globally whose iPhones will have been turned into a goldmine for hackers.
Here in the People's Republic of Australia (PRA) we have a law that enforces companies to put in a backdoor at the request of the Govt, and they are not allowed to talk about it on threat of being charged with treason. So if it is happening, the citizens have no way of knowing unless someone whistleblows. Let's not talk about what happens to whistle blowers in the PRA.
Oh, you mean mini-'merica
@@kaydog890 no, I'm pretty sure he is talking about australia, which is more closely tied to the british than america (which is saying something considering both their pasts)
Actually we wouldn't even know about it even if someone whistleblows, because it's also illegal for Journalists to reveal it or discuss it too, so even if someone leaked it to the press, the press would have to sit on it. So for all we know, there are backdoors into the encryption of every major app we use and we have no idea.
@DepthVorpathis is not true since WWII, now Australia is more closely aligned to USA.
the fact that most of the time only apple is asked for encrypted user data, let's us know that they already have backdoors in the rest, like whatsapp.
BS
Your BS is BS, bot.
It might even be they have that too and they just do this to make it look good.
Of course they have backdoors.
In Poland few years ago there was controversy as ruling party used Israeli program called Pegasus to spy on opposition which used Apple phones. Israeli side leaked it as it was sold to be used for inteligence and counterintelligence services only but point stands that there was no issue on spying on people whatsoever.
We here in Poland are irrelevant country, if US would do same I'm sure no one would try to mess with gigantic financial donations Israel gets from there. Though effectively in all NATO countries and I would also guess at least Russia, China maybe there govs wouldn't have issue with spying on Apple device of their liking.

3:08 Please dont show Telegram as an end to end encrypted chat app. It has E2E encrypted chats as a feature but its not the default and you loose a lot of convenient features from Telegram. Maybe show Whatsapp (which just uses Signals protocol) or better Matrix and other alternatives which clearly use secure E2E messaging by default. Also Signal in its current state has quantum secure E2E encryption as far as i know
Exactly! Telegram is not and was never particularly secure/private. You're the only one that pointed that out afaik
More people should be aware of this
@nonsense1337 yeah, because to some people especially in states totalitarian controlling governments it could be an actual security thread to use telegram for secure messaging
Convenience and E2E doesn't go hand-to-hand. Because it's by design going to cause issues for things like seamless synchronization between desktop and phone, loading messages when one of the device isn't connected, etc. which are all features Telegram is great at. E2E cripples all that which is why Telegram doesn't have it enabled by default.
@delistoyer yeah i know. But E2E encryption can be done with multiple keys and a server synchronizing the encrypted messages just like matrix does it. And then E2E can be really good and convenient

I’ve had Advanced Data Protection turned on for my iCloud backup since they first introduced it. Hope Apple doesn’t cave. This would set a ridiculous precedent.
There's the whole GoFetch thing on Apple chips, and plenty of precedent of other companies caving to these requests so I'm pretty sure this has already happened.
At the most they should just disable the feature and add a message explaining why. In no way should the add a backdoor.
One good thing about apple at least is that they're really big on privacy so I'm trusting them to not cave in to this
Also while we're talking about apple, what about google, did the UK government ask them the same thing and if so then did they agree or what
Apple aren't big on privacy. They're big at marketing that they're big on privacy. That being said, iOS is much better privacy wise than standard Android.

Remember, if you are in the UK, write to your MP about the importance of encryption and privacy. This doesn't stop criminals, this undermines everyday ordinary citizens, while criminals will just use other underground apps which do have E2EE. And backdoors are just a ticking timebomb for bad actors.

UK government understand technology properly challenge [LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE SOMEHOW]
You should see the online safety act
The British State is inherently illiberal on the right to privacy. It is claimed that “there are two hundred reasons someone can walk into your property”, which is hyperbole yet highlights the point that “there is no constitution” such that we have no absolute rights. That sounds like a disaster; however, the protection is based on “common law constitutionalism”. The government has made outrageous laws recently denying immigrants rights, wanting to deport them to dangerous places, and the courts blocked it. The government knew they would. So we have a system where politicians can pretend to be hard on topics, yet it is theatre. It stokes anger against all politicians as the populists claim the judges are enemies of the people. They need to pass a law whereby a politician who attacks the judges is acting illegally, as we dont have three branches of government. The judges are the only protection that we have from the public voting in neo-fascism like our cousins over the pond. Apple will ask the best QCs of England, “Can we fight this?” and they will be told, “Yes,” it will be fought for based on introducing a backdoor creates many technical risks and problems while not reducing any threats. They will beat the government as they government simply cannot make a valid counter argument. At the same time other groups will ask to be heard at the same time such as journalist and they will argue that privacy is a human right. Apple doesn't need to make that argument as others will. So this law is a political pantomime that divides and alienates. (Do your own research i am not a lawyer my experience is building secure systems in regulated industries in the uk 🇬🇧 )
its hard to tell which government ministers actually understand what is going on. if they are made “home office minister” then they go all crazy on these topics. I am unsure if they are just idiots or whether it is seen as a route to be prime minister where playing this card is their best route to the top job…😂

Thanks, dude. For being there, teaching us and bringing this kind of sheet to light.
This has been your brilliant ad, thanks for watching and I will promote it in the next one 😂
Gotta love a 4.5 min video with a 1 min ad

That is a compliment
This sounds like the time to shine and become the Bond villain the world needs.
Old people in government should be illegal
Just a heads up, Telegram is not end-to-end encrypted. They have optional 1:1 chat. The vast, vast majority of what happens on Telegram is legible to the service. It’s also being used for public groups and channels, a lot like Facebook.
Just wondering - why is the UK so hellbent on limiting privacy? I always thought the EU was actually a good place when it comes to digital laws and rights, and I get that the UK isn’t part of the EU, but they can at least learn some things from their next door neighbors, right?
Plus, what are they scared of, anyway? I fail to see what they could possible achieve from this. Who the hell cares about iCloud data? Like, sure, photos and messages should be private, but what the heck are they going to do with that data either?
And finally, why should we, as a user, care so much about privacy? If we really don’t have anything to hide, why would we do all of this stuff to try to conceal our information? Sure, it’s not nice to browse the internet with hundreds of eyes watching, but what’s really the harm, if you’re not doing any harm?
Study Stalin's USSR for your answer. A progressively more totalitarian environment of fear, where the public is terrorized into greater and greater compliance, by degree, with every pruning of perpetrators of lesser and lesser infractions leading to further restrictions and deeper concentration of power into authoritarian hands. It never ends well.
Isn’t part of the EU…. Hmmmm… can you guess why? This is part of it, and the people they duped in the voting leave are still as clueless.
Finally a video that actually says the reason why people care about privacy
Despite no jobs and people can no longer afford to live, people will be lining up to live off the government. Acquiring $62k monthly is indeed a blessing..
How please!? If it’s possible, I would appreciate if you show me how to go about it
Well, I picked the challenge to put my finances in order. Then I invested in cryptocurrency,stocks,through the assistance of my discretionary fund manager
Hither Raschke.
Wow I know Hither Raschke. Her platform maintains a unique perspective and is very transparent with their investors. Regardless of whether or not she out performs. I will forever stay invested!
I’m not here to converse for her to testify just for what I’m sure of, she’s trustworthy and best option ever seen.
Here before Europeans brag about how much better their data privacy is
The UK isn’t part of the EU.
@@LordCoeCoebrits aren't Europeans?
@@LordCoeCoe I didn't say European Union genius
@@defetya not really, if look into it
Yeah because of one country the entirety of Europe has bad data privacy.. The EU in general have some the best online privacy laws like GDPR (The UK is not in EU anymore). It's about to change soon though.
Fact that they're not even allowed to discuss it is unacceptable.
Grape gangs? 😴
Privacy? 😡
BABE WAKE UP! FIRESHIP JUST POSTED NON-AI VIDEO!!?!
I remember you on discord , you were overweight and had a ponytail
Thank god. Tired of the AI news everywhere
@@skylarbohannon Hate to rain on your parade but AI will probably factor in to this as a way for them to break the phone's security.
we should really all switch to linux and use disk encryption and foss software
i use foss but not snap these days. vbox and x11 be giving me grief tho..
@@AG-sy4wtbeen using wayland with xwayland, so far it's been working relatively well but nothing's perfect
@@AG-sy4wt bro, flatpak and snap are insecure bullshit, they have outdated libraries in them, x11 is shit also, wayland more secure(unless your on openbsd)
Did a timer go off at 2:17?
Yes
Signal is not private at all, there have been cases where they could bust people using Signal because they gave up encryption keys to authorities
I think we sometimes vastly over estimate how much the average consumer knows about privacy & how much they actually care.
Most of the people I know would have no idea what end to end encryption is let alone if they had it & wouldn't be concerned to find out they did not.
Or to put it another way most people are unaware & unconcerned with how their devices work, only that they do work.
"Encryption? Does it have pretty stickers?"
3:11 I fully expected a NordVPN segue here.
Use Mullvad if you really care about privacy. TH-camrs that reffer to NordVPN only care about that 40% commission on a sale.
So, some other government can backdoor all your traffic.
End to end encryption was defeated by the new client side scanning for AI. Now the device scans and tracks everything you type and it sees what you type into the encrypted chat app like Signal. So nothing is secure.
Use a secure device like linux PC.
You have to be using Windows to begin with.
@ There is now client side scanning in the latest Mac OS release for Apple Intelligence. You can opt out of it though in the settings, but what’s stopping Apple or the NSA from secretly turning it on without you knowing about it? As a long time Mac user, I find this disconcerting.
UK Gov last month: "Oi bruv, you're racist for wanting an inquiry into grooming gangs"
UK Gov this month: "won't encrypted service providers think of the children?"
You know Elon isn't going to notice you just because you parrot his misinformation right ?
(keep trying though, it's very sweet :)
@@anonymes2884 This isn't misinformation, actual UK resident here; inquiring about grooming gangs will get you questioned by PRAP-proponent departments. (Police Racial etc etc)
Keep trying to disinform the world, glowie.
lol go on tell me what you know about the inquiry
Attracting bots is a good sign that you're on the right path
@@anonymes2884 Elon Musk is living in your head rent-free to bring him up with an unrelated reply. Grooming gangs in UK are real btw.
UK is so overtly under attack that it blows my mind how quiet the people can be
This debate is getting exhausting. Politicians that push for this should be automatically kicked out of office.

Bots are earlier than me today😮😂
I am highly skeptical when the government starts complaining... "Guys dont use WhatsApp! its encrypted and we definitely cant access that data, please guys, whatever you do, dont use WhatsApp!!!"
I hate to FUD but could be honeypot
Still better than Russia owned telegram that doesn't even have encryption enabled by default.
Telegram is end to end in name only. Nobody turns it on and it's a home grown crypto library.
Any backdoor, regardless of how "secure" it is, can and will be used as an attack vector.
Not their problem.
Understand every encrypted app on your phone is being tracked by the developer & the Govt.
bro telegram is not encrypted ....
secret chats
Not by default

As a European living in the UK, it's honestly quite scary how many cameras and stuff there are everywhere
For starters, councilors have been forbidden from using cameras due to blatant misuse. Plus, we are not a totalitarian state, stop acting like it. If you're not picking fights in the streets then you've got nothing to worry about.
2:44 can someone elaborate on this "hack?"
I'd like to know as well
they had a method to disable the iPhone’s auto-erase feature after multiple failed password attempts (like 10 attempts) but this exploit could bypass that and you could try the pass code infinite times. What the tool did was essentially remove or neutralise these safeguards. By exploiting the vulnerability, the tool allowed the FBI to perform an automated brute-force attack at high speed without the usual delays or risk of the phone erasing its data. But it hasn't been publicised so only FBI and people who gave them exploit knows, but this is the idea that goes around in the community of what happened
@@zingzong0 ohhhh okay, thanks bro
This is why you support developers such as myself who do encryption and build our own platforms.
Good on ya!
Knowing what happened at Facebook when every employee could access every user's data, and knowing the reports that the police is no bit better, no thanks, I'd rather keep my personals secret.
Do the UK not remember that thing where the FBI asked “Pretty pretty please help us backdoor this phone” and Apple said “Up yours” in every way, shape, and form, including to this day brigading for “Privacy Privacy Privacy!” like it’s the hottest new fashion trend?
The EU is trying to pass a "Chat Control" law but failed many times… Europe is becoming more and more like China
@@stephenpainter-nc7zd I wish you could carefully use your brain to read my comment
And the US is becoming more like a banana republic. Just comes down to which brand of lunacy you find least intolerable.
Not just Europe. It's happening all over the world mate. Get ready for the new world order.
@@stephenpainter-nc7zd one of the reasons i'm not so mad about brexit is seeing what the EU tried to do against their citizen's privacy immediately after we finally made the move. they definitely did not mean to say the UK... but, unfortunately, we may be following suit in a similar direction
yeah, and still blame china for stealing data
I thought bro would be sponsored by a VPN but the pivot to brilliant😂😂😂
