FWIW I do think that Apple acted reasonably given that they had three choices:

1. Give the UK a backdoor

2. Turn the feature off and hope that UK users complain to their government. Especially after the nudes start leaking en mass - nobody wants to see that :-)

3. Ignore the order. That would probably require closing all UK Apple Stores and evacuating all physical, financial and personnel assets from the UK - and from any jurisdiction that cooperates with the UK. Which basically means Earth.

doesn't change the fact that if you are in the reach of these psychopathic busybodies you probably are gonna be getting what any reasonable human observing the situation would be predicting is coming

and why a LOT of people have gone back to their home countrties after working over there for years (seen dozens of people in this situation, many many of them are all back at home because things were getting messed up

and it's not the incroachment of the government that drove them back home

it was the money

Soon the same request from EU. But but but it’s for the children.
