As expected #Apple has nuked Advanced Data Protection (ADP) for UK users. What does this mean in practice? UK govt will be able to decrypt all UK user's #iCloud data at will.

Existing users' access will be disabled at a later date - this will likely mean that unless if you accept the new policy Apple will delete your existing iCloud data. Which I would recommend you do right now anyway - never trust someone else's computer with sensitive data.
