Surveillance is becoming a theme associated with Apple as of late.

What you need to know: Apple's iCloud Photos and Messages child safety initiatives
Last apple product I purchase, last software update I install. Now that they're in bed with the government, their politically-charged "excuse" for invading every user's privacy cannot outweigh the long-term consequences. Governments want in, and Apple has just given them an avenue. The future is dark for Apple if they go down this path off complicity.

Facebook reports record ad revenue after grousing about iOS privacy features
How are they able to operate in such a behind-the-scenes way without full transparency and make billions upon billions? Apple has done at least part of what it could via their App Store transparency labels, but it's clear there's a long way to go. Regulation might wind up being the only way to reign in the seemingly unlimited data-harvesting power of most big tech companies. Although from the government-tech hearings I've seen, my hopes are low that the right people are in office to understand what's needed, let alone to act in ways beneficial to people / society, yet not detrimental to the Internet's functionality and benefits.
