UK government demands access to Apple users' encrypted data
www.bbc.co.uk
The Home Office served the notice to the tech giant under the Investigatory Powers Act.

UK government is trying to get into iCloud end-to-end encryption. (Again?)

Makes me think about email servers too. Most of my private information is in emails, and not only I use a service where the host machines access the email, so do almost everyone I email to/from.

    But I dislike that it requires even going that info

    I never understood this stance… do people really think a corporation is going to risk their entire company over your anonymity when their country’s government does not allow this? Nobody is going to jail for you.

    Plus, if everyone could easily sign up anonymously, then like they said, it would be overrun with bots and the reputation of their IPs would quickly deteriorate to where most other email providers would just block them, making the service almost worthless.
