Presumably this applies to the iPhones owned by UK government ministers, civil servants, personal devices of military personnel, UK businesses, etc.
As a brit, I find that my government's stupidity is almost its only reliable attribute.
- mrweasel 2y agoPresumably not, politicians have a way of excepting themselves in these types of laws. It's almost as if they understand the need for privacy, they just fail to apply that understanding to any scenarios beyond their own.

- 8fingerlouie 2y agoNot a UK example, but Chat Control (2.0) explicitly exempts various politicians and government officials from being spied on.
