The Lockdown - Practical Privacy & Security

023 - Apple Removes ADP in the UK, the Privacy Implications and Listener Q&A


Listen Later

In this episode, we dive into Apple’s latest privacy retreat with the removal of Advanced Data Protection (ADP) for iCloud in the UK. We break down why Apple made this move, how ADP works, and what it means for users who care about encryption and data security. If you’re in the UK and using Apple’s ecosystem, this episode is a must-listen as I cover strategies to keep your data secure despite Apple’s decision.

In this week’s episode:

  1. The UK’s Investigatory Powers Act
  2. A technical breakdown of how iCloud ADP was supposed to protect user data.
  3. Alternatives to iCloud, including Nextcloud, GrapheneOS, and secure backups.
  4. Threat Modeling & The Privacy Spectrum
  5. Listener Questions, addressing concerns about online privacy, social media exposure, and what to do when friends dismiss security risks.
