    I think it’s great that the UK stepped on their dick and this made big news in the tech world. I don’t know if it got any play in more mainstream news, but it highlighted the dangers of over-regulation.

    I’m typically pro-regulation, btw. I’m not a libertarian fuck-nut. Privacy is also cool, is what I’m saying.

      They could - UK being out of the EU gives them far less power.

      Apple puts every decision into profits. Does breaking encryption do more damage than the profits of the UK market makes? If yes, they leave.

      If this was an EU thing, the numbers would be entirely different, and they couldn’t just pull out. Now they might.
