Apple pulls end-to-end encryption in UK, spurning backdoors for gov’t spying

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-07-05 12:40:11

After the United Kingdom demanded that Apple create a backdoor that would allow government officials globally to spy on encrypted data, Apple decided to simply turn off encryption services in the UK rather than risk exposing its customers to snooping. Apple had previously allowed end-to-end encryption of data on UK devices through its Advanced Data Protection (ADP) tool, but that ended Friday, a spokesperson said in a lengthy statement. "Apple can no longer offer Advanced Data Protection (ADP)

The real reason why oil and gas companies are bullish on carbon capture

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-07-05 13:41:46

Two years ago, oil and gas company Occidental bought carbon capture startup Carbon Engineering. The transaction was hailed as a win-win: A climate tech company scored a significant exit, and a fossil fuel company gained a foothold in a sector that could be worth up to $150 billion by 2050. Now we have a better idea why Occidental was keen to pick up the pricey technology: They want to use it to pump more oil. Previously, the company had said it would use the technology to zero out its climate
