I couldn't remember if UK gov have been trying to get access into iCloud e2e before; I'm sure they've been getting to mandate access to other encryption previously.
Did they tried to ban Signal to ?
Not signal specifiaclly, but they said they would shutter operations in the uk if the online "safety" bill passed. @neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk has posted a lot about it.
Ha tanks ! That is what I was thinking
