The new Bellingcat Challenges are out, a bit of a trip down memory lane for Bellingcat, starting with me 12 years ago in my kitchen.

A good time to remember that end-to-end encryption is both a privacy AND a security measure, and for anyone even slightly keeping up with the cyber threat landscape this past year, the need for E2EE has never been clearer.

The following can be attributed to Dr. Joseph Lorenzo Hall, Distinguished Technologist at the Internet Society: The Internet Society is saddened at the news that Apple has removed access to its cloud end-to-end encryption, known as Advanced Data Protection, for its UK users as a result of pressure by the UK government. This move will make British Apple users less safe, and make their cloud data more susceptible to criminals and other attackers. It is clear that the UK government continued to pressure Apple to weaken the security of its service despite global outcry from cybersecurity experts, civil society, private industry, and foreign politicians. In choosing to remove the feature rather than building a backdoor into its Advanced Data Protection, Apple ensured that at least its global users would continue to benefit from the security and privacy of end-to-end encryption. However, for UK users, their government ensured that their security and privacy is worse than before.

“Encryption either works for everyone – or for no one”, @meredithmeredith.bsky.social (@signal.org) emphasizes, rejecting the idea that governments can have access in certain cases while preserving privacy general. #DLD25
