> The question I'm then moved to ask is this: who cares [...] Many care because Apple's motives and principles wrt privacy are often used as a reason to choose them. That they haven't stated publicly that they are complying but disagree (like they have in other instances) makes many wonder whether Apple is honest about their motives and principles. I understand the critical among us know it's all about the money, but others do want to know why Apple publicly states its beliefs in one case and not the other (again, not about compliance, just about public disagreement).
