lulz. “deleted” photos
I’m like 99% sure this is Apple’s deliberate decision to make it so companies with confidential data throw out their computers rather than recycling them
I doubt it as this seems like a PR disaster
First Apple selling out a customer using iCloud then this. Geez man.
I’m not sure you know the definition of “selling out”
Edit: spelling
They’re cheapening out by not making all iCloud services end to end encrypted.
Expect that’s not what happened? Why are you spreading misinformation? Blame them for what they actually did. Namely giving out metadata of an iCloud account, such as associated email accounts, owner name and address.
Sauce? Interested.

Can’t protect someone from bad OPsec.
Important quote for readers:
I have mixed feelings about this. This doesn’t sound to me like the actual iCloud data but rather it’s metadata for an account the police know already exists. It’s certainly not great, but it could be worse.
