I bet Apple understands this is a bad idea (dilutes their "privacy" brand image) I wonder what forces have pushed Apple to this point.

  Privacy was only a talking point to get them some advantage over the Eye of Sauron (Google). I have no doubt that they were ready to jettison their privacy protection marketing angle at a moment's notice. You can't have access to people's data in the cloud and on their phones, and not use it in certain ways. To do so would be to leave money, and the good will of the government, on the table.

  >I bet Apple understands this is a bad idea That would be Steve Job's Apple. Tim Cook's Apple will think they are doing it for the greater good. The road to hell is paved with good intentions
