I didn't read the quoted message as saying that Apple won't fight, but that if you need to rely on Apple to fight (especially when you live outside Apple's home country), you've got serious problems.


Agreed. This is the people’s fight with their government, it’s not Apples fight.

The answer is don’t store your data on iCloud. Self host everywhere you can, and protest. Don’t wait for or rely on a corporation to fight your battles against your government for you.


I took it as a criticism of the state of affairs in the UK, and wanted to remind people that the US doesn't have the moral high ground on this issue.

Apple fought Comey and the Biden administration on this issue back in 2015, and is still fighting in the UK.
