If you’re in the UK, cancel your iCloud subscription.
(Or the government will have access to all your data. Just like how things work in China.)
Your best bet is to take offline backups yourself as any cloud service provider that does business in the UK will have to either do the same or leave the market.

PS. This is why we left the UK ten years ago. So we could on our own terms and wouldn’t have to do so later on. https://ar.al/notes/so-long-and-thanks-for-all-the-fish/

@aral where did you move to?
@Squozen First Sweden, then Ireland. (Nowhere’s perfect. And the way things are going, it looks like we’re all going to have to make a stand wherever we are sooner or later.)
@aral oh, where in Ireland?
@Squozen Bray. You?
(Congrats on the citizenship, btw, just saw the posts.) :)
@aral thanks! We’re in Portarlington.
