As we know, in this case, after going public, Apple removed encryption for
UK users <https://support.apple.com/en-us/122234> rather than acquiesce.
What we don't know is how many others may have invisibly submitted.
The news came in this week
<https://internet.exchangepoint.tech/gsma-embraces-e2ee-standards-2/>
that GSMA’s latest update to the Rich Communication Services (RCS) standard
explicitly cites the definition of end-to-end encryption
<https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-knodel-e2ee-definition-11.html>
(E2EE) developed by Mallory Knodel, Sofía Celi (Brave), Olaf Kolkman
(Internet Society), and Gurshabad Grover, and in process to become an IETF
standard.
Meanwhile the UK Government has set 2035 as a deadline
<https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/guidance/pqc-migration-timelines> for domestic
organizations to transition to post-quantum encryption (PQC). One imagines
GCHQ expects to have figured out how to crack it by that date :)

The UK government’s recent demand for Apple to create a backdoor in its
end-to-end encrypted cloud services raises alarming concerns for online
safety, privacy, and cybersecurity. This panel discussion will explore the
global implications of this move, particularly how it could set a dangerous
precedent for weakening encryption and jeopardizing online safety for
individuals, businesses, and civil society.
