Don't you know anything, Brits? Apple only strips security features for the Chinese government, you fools!

Haha yeah too right. UK government isn't authoritarian enough for apple to listen to

it has more to do with where their factories are located. Hard to negotiate with the people who control the very land and people you utilize to build your hardware

Not saying that justifies it, just think we should be accurate with our outrage

Yeah I agree that the CCP have more leverage due to the factories, aa well as the larger user base.

Just like to point out apple aren't some altruistic organisation, they are a corporation out to make money, and that the CCP suck.

Also, I profoundly disagree with the legislation this thread was originally about.
