Two notes: before scream against Apple remember a thing: a company MUST legally comply with States rules where it exists. Witch means: Apple, based in USA, must allow USA authority access anything on their servers AND Apple in China must respect local laws, EVENTUALLY doing various gimmick to respect both. The lesson here is not finger point "someone evil" but finger point the use of proprietary software and services. Theater like "Apple do not decrypt phones for FBI" or "Apple censor Chinese Citizens" etc are theater. The reality is that IF you are a company you comply with local laws. If you just publish free software, NOT services, the end user must, formally, comply with local laws. Sorry for my poor English, not my mother tongue, but I think the concept is pretty simple and anyone with a bit of IT knowledge must know that AND HAVE ALREADY accepted such reality. For Democracy we can't allow proprietary software nor black boxes. No matter if domestically made or not. Is someone with an IT background do find this as extreme and even criticize Apple for it's choice must stop and think a bit: it's an hypocritical behavior even if genuine.
