I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: if your intended prosecution against someone relies entirely on breaking encryption for every user everywhere, you are a) a police state and b) have no case.

It’s shocking to think the UK thought it could just steamroll over everyone’s rights everywhere and grant itself an exclusive license to see anyone in the world’s data on a whim. As a reminder, this demand to bypass all legal protections for all the citizens of the world was made in secret from a secret organization that required that any compliance with these insane demands could not ever be reported to the user, other governments — nobody except itself.

Frankly the UN should be looking at severe sanctions against the UK, and the US in particular should be regarding it as a hostile action. Everyone involved in this overreach should be fired.

Well said. The U.K. should be penalized for this and made to defend their disgustingly fascist law, a violation of privacy and civil liberties

This is what happens when you have a supply chain expert in charge of an innovative company. 

• Want to  make good computers so make some profit to do that; vs
• Want to make a profit so make some good computers to do that . 

A subtle difference, but turns out it is everything. It takes time to be revealed, and then it is clear to see and difficult to fix.
Tim Apple is exposed as in the second category.  

This Siri debacle is a clear example of it.  It has been poor for years, and nothing was done about it because software isn’t in the supply chain for hardware (thus low priority), and here we are.

and now Apple is so far behind it is becoming uncool. But hey, let’s get that geriatric pompous git King Charles (or more likely, an underling of his media manager) to do a playlist.  

Yeah..... I totally get the impression that Craig Federighi is timid and would be incapable of advocating for himself 

Do you actually think this nonuse through when you type it?
