That stretch of logic sounds an awful lot, like a post-hoc justification after learning it wasn't about the US. But ok
No no no, he's just american and thinks the universe centers around the US
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.
Hey Buddy, this article is about UK and you argue for it to be about the US. Clearly the UK did not pass a law to bend over for your orange overlord.
This whole discussion is bonkers.
My government is now basically a fascist regime. Musk is going to see this and demand that Apple do the same.
One of my in-laws has dual England/US citizenship. They divide their time between the two countries. It directly effects them.
I don't doubt that. But its still a large stretch, to think the UK passed a law applying to all UK citizens, specifically to give the US access to a few thousand dual citizens.
I'm thinking LoudWaterHombre was right. You simply have an extremely US centric mindset.
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?
Now you're moving the goal post, and pointing to a slippery slope, still trying to justify your original misunderstanding. It's alright to be wrong sometimes.
I hope I am wrong, but we’re now essentially being run by an unelected oligarch. Authoritarian regimes like the US will see it and demand the same for here.
Total non sequitur. You're way off topic now.
I don’t know. Having a family member with dual citizenship gives me a good comparison between the US and the UK. Both of our governments are getting very Orwellian.
