If you’re in the UK, cancel your iCloud subscription.
(Or the government will have access to all your data. Just like how things work in China.)
Your best bet is to take offline backups yourself as any cloud service provider that does business in the UK will have to either do the same or leave the market.

PS. This is why we left the UK ten years ago. So we could on our own terms and wouldn’t have to do so later on. https://ar.al/notes/so-long-and-thanks-for-all-the-fish/

Re: "If you’re in the UK, cancel your iCloud subscription."
Surely even if you're not in the UK you should cancel your iCloud subscription. The government ordered a backdoor to iCloud accounts worldwide. The B.B.C. article even says "It is not clear that Apple's actions will fully address those concerns, as the IPA order applies worldwide and ADP will continue to operate in other countries"
@Sumocat@mastodon.world@adamsaidsomething @aral Thank you. Everyone made such a big deal over this very important fact a few weeks ago, and totally forgot it today. Turning off ADP in the UK doesn’t fulfill the order. Maybe it’ll be good enough. We don’t know.
