I finally dropped iCloud and you should too

hey sun here i'm a private santa security researcher and whoo echo echo oh sorry about that um yeah have been published in a while i have so much i want to share uh but i want to dive right into a topic that is important to me right now um i and i'm ashame d of of that i was or i have been using icloud to sync my contacts and my calendar between my mac and my iphone oh it is it's been something on my list for so long to kind of break up up with apple and and just move that some other place so i went down that rabbit hole that's what i want to talk about today but i want to start with a punch um while doing this research i stumbled upon this uh article by apple which i'll link in the description uh it talks about icloud security overview um and it talks about end-to-end encryption and apple is this very privacy conscious company they're spending you know millions on and and they've done some decent work in some places but they also have been quite despicable on other places or is that is that even english um so yeah one would think that our contacts and our calendar two very sensitive pieces of data about us would be end-to-end encrypted that means that when the data is created on your computer uh it is synchronized with other devices but in a way where it's encrypted on our computer before being you know sent to the other devices and this is this is not not the case at all
