If you’re in the UK, cancel your iCloud subscription.

(Or the government will have access to all your data. Just like how things work in China.)

Your best bet is to take offline backups yourself as any cloud service provider that does business in the UK will have to either do the same or leave the market.

PS. This is why we left the UK ten years ago. So we could on our own terms and wouldn’t have to do so later on. ar.al/notes/so-long-and-thanks

@TCMuffin I am super curious about how this plays out, and very happy to not be in the UK.

@Squozen

Me too…on both counts!

We looked at moving to Ireland (or the Netherlands) after brexshit, but my wife’s elderly father was still alive and she wasn’t comfortable with not being able to jump in the car if he needed her 😣

@TCMuffin I had a one-way ticket from Australia to the UK booked in early 2016. Then Brexit happened and I changed the destination to Ireland. End result, we are now Irish citizens. 😄
