I'm assuming you conveniently forgot that the UK already has a law requiring users to hand over credentials / keys. This additional 'request' is a sweeping power too far and Apple have justly refused. You have also just embarrassed the UK by 'demanding'. Poor form!

@LukeGaughan @tomhfh well for one the people who love encryption most are pedophiles. Even the US has a law ( dating way back) that forces platforms to proactively hand over some data.

In the past few months, I've been making a subdomains database containing 1.6 billion subdomains scrapped from multiple public (and private) sources. This database is now public and FREE and can be queried on the following website. https://t.co/C2cXn3sUOD Enjoy!

Did you know @EE are removing the USA from their international roaming package? To cause less confusion apparently. And charge you Β£8 per day to further reduce the confusion.
