That is well worth a read!

And a question for anyone using an Apple device, have you switched on/were you aware of Advanced Data Protection?

It is off by default!! (Find it by: Settings > Your name/Apple ID > iCloud > Advanced Data Protection)

They try to scaremonger you into not activating it - in reality you’ll only need the key in pretty extreme circumstances:

What are the odds of you losing access to all of your devices, all of your backups, your passcode, and your phone number all at once? (Pretty minimal I’d say!)

For me the best would be Japan, but it’s not really easy to relocate there. I would either need to have a huge funds and work plan for years or remotely find job for a Japanese company that also can help me with VISA. For sure there are many ways to visit this country, but relocate permanently is not so easy.
