    One of those situations where the corp just takes on the form of the state. Sure, iCloud is encrypted, but if Apple is deciding to snoop around, it doesn't mean much. On top of that, they've kind of relented to three letter agencies in the past when those agencies started throwing a tantrum because Apple wanted to add more encryption.

    The premise itself isn't bad, but under current conditions, it shouldn't be a surprise if this leads to more privacy encroachment.

      "Encrypted" does not mean anything if Apple stores all of the key. It may as well not be at all.

      iCloud is not new. This is granting the ability to mass scan people's local encrypted storage.
