      [deleted post]The word "indirect" carries a lot of weight in your argument. Kind of, most of it.

      That said, it is not unlikely the GCHQ is now demanding this because they've been made aware the NSA now got something like this in the States.

        Our (I'm British) government is filled with authoritarian a holes who want to control its citizens' lives, and be able to immediately catch and punish any wrongthink. I'm not surprised they're doing this, I'm just extremely disgusted, disappointed and angry.

                          Actual crime with the worst circumstances? *UK Law sleeps*

                            UK gov: we need the data of everyone worldwide "to fight crime". NO EXCEPTIONS!!!
                            also UK gov: * makes exception from data harvesting for UK gov officials *

                                  For users around the world? That sounds like something the United States would demand. Apple should fight this. These governments are just like CCP China wanting to spy on people.

                                    The 5 eyes mass surveillance is getting out of hand. It's really time for the rest of the world to sanction and boycott those countries.

                                      Many people critics "chinese" phones for their "alleged" connection with ccp, but these same people doesn't say anything about blatant privacy fringing by western police state? Such hypocrisy...

                                      I hope Apple doesn't give in to government pressure. They need to defend their user against the political scumbags who pretending to do the good deeds for their people...
