Paul Stenhouse: UK Govt issues order to gain Apple iPhone data, Tinder allows you to connect based on relationship style - Saturday Morning with Jack Tame

The UK government is trying to get eyes on your iPhone data – regardless of where you live 

Reporting from the Washington Post says the UK government has issued a secret order to Apple to effectively give it backdoor access to all the data, even the encrypted data that it stores in iCloud.     

It's an offense for a company to reveal they've received this type of order, under the UK’s Investigatory Powers Act of 2016. Apple is expected to stop offering encrypted backups in the UK, but if it also meets the demand to offer a backdoor to encrypted data, then other nations like the US and China are likely to ask for the same thing. 

While the position from most law enforcement has been that it makes it easier for terrorists and child abusers to hide, the US, Canada, Australia, and NZ are now in favour of encryption to stop Chinese hackers.  

Tinder wants you to find the "relationship" you want  

Tinder has more than just a stack of profiles to swipe through at random, there's also an explore page which has let folks connect based on interests like Animal Parents or Gamers. But now you can also look for those who are wanting the same style of relationship as you. There are now categories for serious daters, those looking for a long-term partner, non-monogamy, and short-term fun.
