Rotten Apple

I mean I don't think Apple should be doing this or providing encryption backdoors. I guess they didn't want to take it to the courts? Is the UK government in the business of spying on its citizens and curtailing their ability to secure their own data? Perhaps that should be a front page story the citizens need to hear about.

I don't think courts in the UK work the way they do in the US. This law was duly passed and Apple must comply with it, one way or another.
And yes, the UK is very much in the business of massively surveiling their citizens. They have the highest density of CCTV cameras on Earth, or close to it.
