  • Google confirms that there will be free and paid tiers for developer registration. However, FOSS developers may need to pay after a certain number of downloads.
  • Apple receives another technical capabilities notice by the UK to implement a backdoor into iCloud’s Advanced Data Protection Program. This time, it will only target British users.
