Many are saying that Apple can't comply without breaking EU GDPR. Hence Apple has been put in the situation where they are forced to accept either operating in the UK market or the EU market.
So my question is (am genuinely not being snarky) why would the UK gov put Apple in this situation? The current leader (Starmer) is a lawyer surely he must have been aware of the legal predicament this would put Apple in, what is the intention behind asking for something that you are fully aware there is absolutely no chance they can comply with?
- newdee 2y agoStarmer has a long history of authoritarian tendencies, he’s always sided with the police or establishment powers, even when there was public outcry over the circumstances. He’s going to bend to whichever powerful spooks are pushing for this. Most notable are the cases of Ian Tomlinson, Student Fees Protests and Jimmy Saville. Generally though, he’s been in favour or instructed his party not to oppose the introduction of greater police powers. Man is a snake.
