Apparently Apple can end-to-end encrypt your iCloud, but it’s opt in because they still want to profit off your data >_<

To enable this, go to Settings -> iCloud -> Advanced Data Protection

You need to have all the devices under your apple account to be fully updated, and you’ll need to remember a 28-key passphrase for recovery

I hate how big tech treats privacy as an afterthought. This should have been the default. But oh well. Spread the world people.

    It’s a bit fascist to force people to do what you think is right, no?

        Data privacy is a good thing, but user awareness is far more important. People are always the weakest link when it comes to privacy & security.

        I’m glad more and more people are getting educated with all the resources that we have today and I like how Apple makes it easy to turn it on when users are educated enough. But they do need to be mindful of what they’re storing, the consequences (if they forgot they password), and what does E2EE protect them from.
