   @cliffwade @beardedtechguy Considering that Apple is now in bed with fascism, I can't see them holding their privacy stance much longer.

     @beardedtechguy Except that's for the UK/EU folks. You're safe for now and likely will be for quite some time to come.

     @cliffwade I wouldn't hedge my bet on "quite some time".

     @beardedtechguy I would. I don't see the US changing laws like that too quickly. The EU has been trying to do these things for years now.

     Not saying it won't happen, as it likely will at some point, but that some point is likely much further than you think or realize.

     Thing is, most all other companies do something similar or will do something similar once one or two do things like this.
