Big problem with that, is we’re heading down the V for Vendetta “everyone uses the government controlled phone” path. Apple’s capitulation just adds more weight against their, “hey we’re completely closed-source, but you can totally trust us as the most secure private phone platform because we said so,” narrative.
Not that there’s a real correct-answer way out of this right now. People will just have to leave platforms and do their own thing.
Just keep pushing the groupthink to get out of Google. They can’t be trusted, now, more than ever.
