@eff It is harder for Apple to say no when they have already agreed to the same request from the Chinese government in exchange for access to customers.

@eff I am disgusted and ashamed that the UK government would do this. Other governments, the whole kit and caboodle, need to call the British Government to account. I don't think some sort of sanctions would be unreasonable and I live there. It's incredible over-reach to demand unfettered access to everyone's data everywhere.

@eff I wrote a program called evdisk that creates a directory with a large file that contains a LUKS file system that can be mounted using the loopback device. The key for that file system is encrypted with GPG and the GPG file is stored in the same directory. I set up a flash drive with this on it, but without a keyring containing my GPG private key.

It provides a backup in case the house burns down. Any comments regarding security?

@eff ive sen this article posted a couple of times, is there a sensible suggestion of anything that the public can do?
