Apple sued for $5M for not recovering data after iPhone theft
A Minnesota man is suing Apple for failing to do enough after having his iPhone stolen, demanding access to 2 terabytes of data and at least $5 million in damages…
After his iPhone was stolen by pickpockets in Scottsdale, Arizona, Mathews claims he lost access to his photos, music, tax returns, and work-related research. As a consequence, his tech consulting firm apparently had to shut down.
In the suit, Mathews wants access to approximately 2 terabytes of data that forms his “entire digital life, including that of his family,” and at least $5 million in damages…
Mathews’ problems all focus around the Recovery Key, a feature of Advanced Data Protection which is used to reset the password and recover the account. It is a 28-digit key that Apple recommends users store safely for future use…
Without ADP, it is possible to recover accounts, in part because of the way Apple deals with encrypted data stored on its servers. Apple itself has a copy of encryption keys between the user’s device and iCloud, and they can be recovered easily, just not under ADP.
* The owner of the stolen iPhone claim to be tech consultant yet he hasn’t created a local backup of his data ?

DOJ’s sweeping remedies would harm America’s economy and technological leadership
..DOJ’s proposal would make it harder for you to get to services you prefer. People use Google because they want to, not because they have to. DOJ’s proposal would force browsers and phones to default to search services like Microsoft’s Bing, making it harder for you to access Google.
DOJ’s proposal to prevent us from competing for the right to distribute Search would raise prices and slow innovation. Device makers and web browsers (like Mozilla’s Firefox) rely on the revenue they receive from search distribution. Removing that revenue would raise the cost of mobile phones and handicap the web browsers that you use every day.
DOJ’s proposal would force Google to share your most sensitive and private search queries with companies you may never have heard of, jeopardizing your privacy and security. Your private information would be exposed, without your permission, to companies that lack Google’s world-class security protections, where it could be exploited by bad actors….

Mozilla’s CEO weighs in on U.S. v. Google
..The outcome of this case isn’t just about one company, it’s about the future of the internet and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
There are only three main browser engines left and only one engine—Mozilla’s Gecko—is not owned by a Big Tech company. Browser engines shape how the web works. Gecko powers Firefox (and other independent browsers) and puts privacy and people first.
If it disappears, so does the open web…
