Apple has said planned changes to British surveillance laws could affect iPhone users’ privacy by forcing it to withdraw security features, which could ultimately lead to the closure of services such as FaceTime and iMessage in the UK.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.

Good. Let’s all move to signal
No, move to something that’s federated and not run by a corporation
For real, wish I lived in the UK so I could get all my friends to adopt signal finally lol
Signal will shut down too though lol
Signal have already said they will withdraw completely from the UK, as have WhatsApp, Session and a few others.
How will that prevent people from using them?
If and when Signal is packaged for F-Droid, how is the British government going to stop people in the UK from using Signal?
Knowing this gvmt, they’ll try and prevent access at the ISP level. They’ve already started making noises about tackling ‘the menace of VPN’s’.
I never would’ve thought that the US would be the place for better privacy
They’ll be out in six months to a year and since it takes them forever to achieve anything I wouldn’t worry.
If you’ve got to have a right wing fascist government hope for an incompetent one.
Which would be fine except Starmer approves of all the things contained in the various bits of legislation.
Lol UK losing WhatsApp. Yikes.
EU when?
A service i would gladly lose completely
Yeah. Whatsapp’s the big one in europe.
