I think you vastly misunderstand or are oversimplifying the problem here. They actually spoke up against a government mandated privacy violation.
What I am worried about really is Google, Meta etc did not speak up against it and likely have had the same requests. So I am worried about some foreign companies complying with my government. And very surprised that one particular foreign company gives more of a shit about me as an end user than my own government.
- petepete 1y agoI don't think it's fair to tar Meta with that brush. WhatApp have said repeatedly they'll leave the UK before disabling E2EE.
- ohgr 1y agoI don't believe they've commented on this issue at all and they carry more messages than Apple do in the UK.
- petepete 1y agoNot in the last couple of months but they made a big deal about refusing to comply when it was raised in 2023. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/mar/09/whatsapp-end-to-end-encryption-online-safety-bill https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/mar/09/whatsapp-...
