Apple’s encryption fight in the United Kingdom could be the least of its worries, with industry observers fearful that other governments around the world will also try to weaken encryption on security grounds.

In the U.K., the government has attempted to force Apple to destroy the security of iCloud by providing it with a backdoor.

Carl Erik Rinsch, the director of 47 Ronin, has been charged for defrauding a streaming service out of $11 million, according to the Southern District of New York’s US Attorney’s Office. While the court documents didn’t name the service, an old report from The New York Times made it obvious that it was none other than Netflix. In 2018, Rinsch pitched a sci-fi series called White Horse, referencing the first horseman of the apocalypse, to several services, namely Amazon, Apple, HBO, Hulu, Netflix and YouTube. The Times’ report said that Amazon had already won the bidding war, but Netflix’s former VP of Original Content, Cindy Holland, called Rinsch on a weekend and offered millions more, along with the privilege of making a director’s cut.
