Comment on Britain Orders Apple to Build a Backdoor Into Your iPhone

Global access is wild, basically it means if the UK could force this that any five eyes country would then have the same access without needing to look bad to their citizens.
Also, how hard do we expect Apple to fight this? I have a hard time believing they would just pull out of the UK but I could be wrong. From what I understand China has this type of access because they don’t allow E2EE.

Doesn’t the US already have that backdoor? From what you’re saying, the UK probably already has access? Not attacking, sincerely asking.

If they do they won’t admit it.

If they do, the cops and mid-level government agencies don’t know. When that recent phone reboot patch when in, they were losing their minds because a bunch of phones sitting around for weeks to be cracked ended up encrypted.

As far as I know Apple didn’t give in, Trump and the FBI wanted it during his first term but I don’t think it happened. At least I hope it didn’t.
