Got to love all the pretense they claim as the reasons they want this. Oh it’s so we can scan for indications of child abuse. No it’s fucking not, it’s so you can spy on your own citizens. The U.S.A. uses terrorism as an excuse for every imaginable violation of our rights and the UK now wants Apple to let them bypass security with a flip of a switch - without any kind of approval or court order.

We truly are seeing all the sci-fi dystopian society tropes come to life one day at a time, one government overstep at a time.
