E2E encryption is still available in the US for now, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the government forces that to change soon.

“EU orders Apple to let anything in to the AppStore”

Androiders: Yeah! Open that shit up! Stupid Apple!

“EU orders encryption back door”

Androiders: . . . Not like that!

In response to the order, Apple is expected to simply stop offering Advanced Data Protection in the UK. This wouldn’t meet the UK’s demand for access to files shared by global users, however.

Only possible as iOS fails to include a libre software license text file. We do not control it, anti-libre software.
