Apple is a US based company. For them to just roll over sets a bad precedent, especially for our fascists who are now running the show here.

What’s to stop the US government from going after the same services here? What’s about Tor or VPN services?

The authoritarians will smell blood in the water after this. Since the big player just gave up, who will stand in their way?

Unfortunately. I’d love nothing more than to be able to move my family out of the US.

Republicans do, but they blame them on the wrong foreigners. The foreigners causing most of the problems are Musk, Murdoch, Ramaswami, and a few others.

No, the only thing I wish would center around the US is an asteroid. I absolutely hate it here, but I don’t have the means to leave.

One of my in-laws has dual England/US citizenship. They divide their time between the two countries. It directly effects them.

It affects certain people from America. I have a relative who is directly affected by this.

Not if they are in the UK? Idk, that’s probably a weird edge case, but unless we’re all free, nobody is.

The UK is part of 5 Eyes. They swap info on citizens among members. No warrants, no constitutional protections. All they have to do is ask MI5 for info on Americans with dual citizenship.

No, but they’re part of 5 Eyes. The US government can ask MI5 to spy on US citizens, which gets around 4th amendment protections.

This will allow them to spy on any US citizens with dual citizenship.

I’d just as soon not use google apps, where possible.
