Apple has 2x very publicly resisted government demands for user data and campaigned against laws to institute backdoors into their software and services.

Indeed.

They also immediately folded in China after being given the ultimatum of comply or die.

All it would take is Trump to give the same ultimatum...

    Yeah I would expect the same of any company. They have to comply with the laws of the country they do business in. This same requirement compelled them to finally add USB-C to iPhones and allow alternate app stores.

    I wouldn’t blame Google for doing the same, so I’m not going to blame Apple for it either. Do you actually expect any company their size to do any different?

    To the extent they’re legally able to, Apple has absolutely resisted compromising their device security features to aid law enforcement.

    Good thing Trump’s distracted by gold baubles.
