Imagine getting a request to have a government official access your self-hosted Nextcloud instance that you might be running behind a self-hosted VPN.
Good thing this can't possibly lead to more leaked data
Apple will just leave the UK, its not worth it for them to erode trust worldwide
Apple will keel over just like before

They didn’t keel over last time, they decided to remove the ADP feature so that they couldn’t comply with the uk governments request
It's just a bullshit game of political pride at this point. Anti-privacy pundits criticised the UK gov for "caving to the US" after they dropped the previous order so now they're doubling down on trying to take away their citizens privacy in the name of standing up to the US. How brave. Not that the US gov gives a shit about privacy either
