@courtneyjordan_esq: Apple holds the master key to your digital life. Here’s how to destroy it. By default, your iCloud backups are not fully encrypted. If the government serves Apple with a warrant, Apple can and will hand over your data. You need to turn on Advanced Data Protection. Turning this on, enables true end-to-end encryption. It destroys Apple‘s copy of the key, meaning the only device that can decrypt your files are the physical devices in your own hands.
