Great article! I'm glad that you added the European Court of Human Rights ruling from last year, as it was an important case for E2EE. I also would like to add that this order is such a big worry because the U.K. is a member of the Five Eyes Alliance. If the U.K. government gets what it wants, I can see how the other members would attempt to do something similar, making their surveillance measures all the more alarming.
Thanks, glad you like it. On your Five Eyes point, these data access orders are usually kept secret barring a leak or something else. So the other agencies may already have some sort of access already. Never really know for sure.
It's a bit interesting that the UK issued such a blanket demand, and I wonder how this will impact the adequacy review process.
While I'm glad Apple didn't break E2EE for everyone, it is a shame they ended up putting UK citizens at risk. One can only hope that the UK government will face the consequences for their rights violating demands.

Interesting. I'll keep that in mind.
