> Also, why is Apple disabling ADP, and why are they right? Is it because of the UK wanting to snoop on all communications?
Yes.
UK wants Apple to give them a backdoor to E2EE iCloud data, including ADP. The UK gov having such a backdoor to iCloud would also affect non-UK citizens, basically UK wants to snoop on everyone's communication, whether they are under UK jurisdiction or not.
Apple took the route of not offering ADP to the UK instead of complying with the backdoor request, which IMO, is the right move, they shouldn't compromise their service for everyone on the globe because the UK can't break out of it's nanny state fantasy.
But, as always, unless you own and control both ends, you can't really trust that a service does what it says it does.
