Until now, Apple kept an encryption key for things like your personal photos and messages stored on their iCloud servers. This means that if you ever forgot your password or locked yourself out in some other way, Apple could recover that data for you. But, as a side effect, it also meant that a government could subpoena them, or a super-villain could theoretically break in and steal them.
Now in the United States and other countries over the next year we will have the option to enable advanced data protection for iCloud. In other words, disable Apple's ability to access almost everything on iCloud. literally make them throw away their key. Then, just like our health data and passwords, our photos and messages will be totally, completely locked down.
But should they be? Do we really need to enable advanced data protection?
