Apple removed Advanced Data Protection in the UK due to a government order, allowing access to iCloud data with a warrant. iMessage stays encrypted. The breach’s scale is debated, not necessarily the largest ever. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgj54eq4vejo https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-21/apple-removes-end-to-end-encryption-feature-from-uk-after-backdoor-order https://9to5mac.com/2025/02/21/apple-removing-end-to-encryption-uk/ https://www.theverge.com/news/617273/apple-removes-encryption-advanced-data-protection-adp-uk-spying-backdoor

Original Tweet
Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1892959668458156298
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
