As they should. Watch how fast the UK backtracks on this policy when 50% of their population suddenly loses one of their communication options.
- Yeah, but just wait for some slimey BritText app to popup with royal blue bubbles and what have you, all conveniently touted as 'secure' and totally not funded by some gov backbencher.
This is why I roll my eyes when people try to shit on Apple in regards to security. Yes they aren’t the absolute best but they are up there and will go to bar for you unless there’s a warrant involved, in which case they have no recourse as an American company
