    Apple is a US based company. For them to just roll over sets a bad precedent, especially for our fascists who are now running the show here.

    What’s to stop the US government from going after the same services here? What’s about Tor or VPN services?

    The authoritarians will smell blood in the water after this. Since the big player just gave up, who will stand in their way?

      Now you’re moving the goal post, and pointing to a slippery slope, still trying to justify your original misunderstanding. It’s alright to be wrong sometimes.

        I hope I am wrong, but we’re now essentially being run by an unelected oligarch. Authoritarian regimes like the US will see it and demand the same for here.

            I don’t know. Having a family member with dual citizenship gives me a good comparison between the US and the UK. Both of our governments are getting very Orwellian.
