Police State UK
(00:00.534)
I guess the UK, they want to be outdone by the Germans and their police state, their little stasi thing they got going on. And they’re doing the same thing. They wanted to force Apple. We talked about this here on the program to basically give the British state the key. The key to the kingdom of Apple. That’s right. To have them build a back door, in essence, allowing them into anyone’s phone.
for any reason. Apple said no frickin way. We would never ever allow that. Apple has advanced data protection. It’s end to end encryption, meaning that nobody can access your information unless you can only do it from your device. Well, UK threatened Apple and Apple said, okay, fine.
No, we’re not going to give you a key. We’re just going to shut off the encryption service for any of the users in the UK. So they’re basically given in. But again, the UK government’s not too happy about this because they’re going to have to deal with their citizens complaining that they can’t encrypt any of their data and their messages anymore when it goes back and forth from the iCloud. This is what it says on the phones. Apple can no longer offer advanced data.
protection in the United Kingdom to new users and it’s telling people that are existing users that users are going to have to shut off encryption or they’re not going to be able to use the iCloud. Again, this is the UK. This is Europe. This is the direction that they’ve been heading in for some time. Very much a police state mentality. Again, you can watch the videos over the course of the weekend, you know.
some grandmother there in the UK complaining about the Labor Department online and getting a visit from the police. Again, it’s difficult for us to get our arms around with these things are actually occurring in countries, certain countries in Europe right now. I applaud Apple. I applaud Apple in their decision and saying, hey, you know, again, they didn’t want to shut everybody down.

They just said, okay, okay, your government wants to spy on you. There’s nothing that we can do about that, quite frankly. They could spy on you. Again, you’re gonna have, in essence, you guys are gonna have to make better choices in the people that represent you. Watchdogonwallstreet.com.
