Apple has a history of giving most of their data to the US government?
Did you mean to say “Apple has had to follow federal law when handed subpoena requests”?
- fendy3002 3y agoThe problem is when the data is related with foreign country that's been asked by the US govt. Can apple not follow it, and will they protect it? Maybe someone with better knowledge on this topic can answer.
- onlyrealcuzzo 3y agoApple doesn't have access to anything remotely to hand over data stored on your phone or in iCould, right? What are they even handing over in subpoenas?
- mdorazio 3y agoUntil very recently, iCloud was not encrypted by default. So in the case of a subpoena, they handed over all your unencrypted iCloud files, chat logs, backups, etc. That's much more difficult due to changes that just happened this year.
- slaw 3y agoYou need to turn on 'Advanced Data Protection for iCloud' to have data encrypted. Mail, Contacts and Calendars are still not encrypted (Apple has key). https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303
- petesergeant 3y ago> “Apple has had to follow federal law when handed subpoena requests” That's no less of a problem for non-friendly governments
- yohannparis 3y agoYes this is what I meant. Thank you for the clarification as some people might not be aware of those United States of America federal laws. For example the CLOUD act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLOUD_Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLOUD_Act
