Quote : " For better or for worse, encryption usually doesn’t keep determined cops out of a target’s private data. In fact, it only rarely comes into play at all.
In 2014, for instance, law enforcement encountered encryption in only 25 out of the 3,554 wiretaps it reported to the judiciary—about .7 percent of cases. And of those meager 25 incidents, investigators circumvented the encryption to access the target’s unencrypted communications 21 times.
“In spite of the big words the FBI has used over the last year, the situation isn’t quite as dire as they make it out to be,” says Chris Soghoian, principal technologist for the ACLU. “The kind of encryption tech companies are giving us is geared towards protecting us from a thief stealing our laptop. It’s not designed to keep out a government agent trying to get your data with or without a court order.”

The iCloud option should ofcourse include Microsofts Skydrive and Google Storage as thats also cloud storage. The fingerprinting option is also very interesting and pretty stupid but at the same time wonderful for the cops. Hello is if I understand it correct Microsofts biometric version in Windows 10 but I got no experience with it so anyone that does please let us know. Wonder how well the biometric options will work on the Windows Phone when that gets Windows 10 but again as noted in the article it should be great for the cops.
If Siri can snitch so could Cortana.
