There is no way to provide backdoors to encrypted data that does not put all users' info at risk. That includes government officials, companies, and individuals.

Looks like the UK is trying to mandate a back door into secure Apple products that will impact security for everyone. Strange that this is happening right before Safer Internet Day, because the result will definitely be a LESS safe internet.

Shameful.
I am appalled & devastated to learn that at the exceptional University of East Anglia, 31 out of 36 academic staff redundancies will be coming from arts & humanities - targeting the arts + humanities must end. What is the point of higher ed if we gut these critical areas?

Friday marked the 15th anniversary of NIN’s “The Slip,” which we self-released as a free download on May 5th, 2008. For the album's design we wanted a bold departure from the photographic textures of the previous album so I looked to De Stijl/Neoplasticism & Polish poster art for inspiration. 1/
