Apple announced its Private Relay feature for iPhones last year when it introduced iOS 15. This new iCloud feature is intended to encrypt all iPhone Safari traffic. As of right now, iPhone users have the option to enable it, and when you toggle it, no one, not even the talented software engineers stationed at Apple, would know who you are, or which website you are browsing, and when you are browsing it. Unfortunately, this feature has not sat too well with European carriers, who seek to block it.

Carriers such as Vodafone, Telefonica, and even T-Mobile have signed an open letter stating that Private Relay severs their network and servers from obtaining valuable data. The Telegraph reports that the European carriers believe that this move will have significant consequences in terms of undermining European digital sovereignty, and it will impact the operator’s ability to efficiently manage telecommunication networks.
