Apple Pulls Encrypted iCloud Security Feature in UK Amid Government Backdoor Demands
-
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.

Bur what about servers that are not based in the UK? They are not officiallly doing business there, they just happen to be accessoble from there. And with Fediverse, you can specifically choose a server that suits your jurisdiction needs.
that just depends on how comfortable the instance owner is, if i was hosting I'd ip block the UK

I am IP-blocked by a lot of things. At some point a large percentage of population just gets used to the fact that VPNs/proxies are now just a mandatory part of the internet usage.

There's already a few websites that block the uk (lemmy.zip is a good example, lobste.rs plans to block the uk)

Hey Buddy, this article is about UK and you argue for it to be about the US. Clearly the UK did not pass a law to bend over for your orange overlord.
This whole discussion is bonkers.
My government is now basically a fascist regime. Musk is going to see this and demand that Apple do the same.

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.

Total non sequitur. You're way off topic now.

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.

This is an indicator that every other company staying in the UK is complying with backdoor demands.
