Doesn’t mean that the US government just needs to accept that.
- beardyw 2y agoWhat does the US government have to do with it?
- lodovic 2y agoThe US government allowing a US company to operate in the US market, while the company enables a foreign country to access all US citizen's data. That's where the government is supposed to step in.
- beardyw 2y agoNo, that is not the intention. If that were the case US diplomats would have intervened before now. Or maybe they were engaged in writing up what they did last week.
- lodovic 2y agoIt's how I understood the UK's request to Apple, "Give us a global backdoor". If not, what was the intention?
- kelnos 2y agoFor the most part, yes it does. And really, it's only fair that it does, even if I think laws like these in the UK are complete garbage. But sure, countries can sign trade treaties that give each other mutually-beneficial things. Some of those things could be what is and isn't allowed to require companies to do in order to operate within the other country's borders. But in absence of something like that... that's just life. I guess the US could act like a baby and slap tariffs on goods from the UK, but I'm not sure what the upside would be for the US here.
