but I thought apple were the good guys /s
tbh if the government demanded fediverse servers do this then they'll probably comply as well, I really don't think this is apple's fault as much as i hate them and every similar tech megacorps
Bur what about servers that are not based in the UK? They are not officiallly doing business there, they just happen to be accessible from there. And with Fediverse, you can specifically choose a server that suits your jurisdiction needs.
I don't think so
