US officials knew about, and did not oppose, that secret UK order that tried to force Apple to weaken iCloud encryption, and now DNI Tulsi Gabbard says the UK order would violate Americans’ rights, @joemenn.bsky.social reports www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

“Gabbard on Tuesday wrote to Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) and Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Arizona) saying she had directed a legal review of the order and had not known of it before it was reported by The Washington Post and confirmed by other publications. The legislators had urged her to act just after her confirmation as the top U.S. intelligence leader.

“I share your grave concern about the serious implications of the United Kingdom, or any foreign country, requiring Apple or any company to create a ‘backdoor’ that would allow access to Americans’ personal encrypted data,” she wrote. “This would be a clear and egregious violation of Americans’ privacy and civil liberties, and open up a serious vulnerability for cyber exploitation by adversarial actors.””

This man is a HUGE influencer and uses his platform/following to further abuse women who have accused him. Now he won’t face justice, reaffirming his lies to his followers

Trump says his 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada — and an additional 10% tariff on China — will take effect on March 4. These new tariffs would cost the typical U.S. household an extra $1,200/year. Other countries won't pay for tariffs — you will.
