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

        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

          I think it’s more that they know they don’t have any negotiating power in China. China doesn’t care if they have iMessage, but the UK and the british people do.

        I mean, they didn’t cave to Russia either. Apple just has principles until there’s enough cash on the table. Then they claim to “always abide by local laws” wherever they operate.

        Oh, they are authoritarian enough. They just aren’t powerful enough.

        Want to know what it looks like to go power crazy with no power, then go look at the Tories.
