General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

They have not asked Google for similar does that mean they already have backdoor access to Android?

I think that the last article said that Apple didn't officially comment because this new bullshit law forbids them from even acknowledging the request even exists and we only know about it from whistleblowers. Because of that I assume every other major provider has already received the same request (or will do soon) and they also are not allowed to tell us.

I'm no fan of Apple but at least they've got the balls to tell the government to fuck off, I wonder how many of the others will just roll over and give them their backdoor.

I think this is for iCloud, not iOS.

For Android read Google backup storage equivalency - Google Drive, Gmail and Google Photos.

I don't think Google drive supports encryption.

Google offers that feature but only with an Enterprise Workspace account.
