>It’s an excellent, unparalleled tool to groom and compromise people, most especially children of high value targets. Two earnest Qs: 1) is there any evidence of that? 2) wouldn't this concern apply to any network where private data is stored? E.g. Were Tim Cook so inclined to be a blackmailer (which I have no reason to think he or Apple is), it seems like he would have access to tons of compromising data on US citizens. Even a successfully enforced requirement to mandate in-country storage that is inaccessible elsewhere seems insufficient to prevent the kind of bad actors you're concerned about, no?
