That's not even the main issue in my opinion: how can Apple do this without breaking laws in other countries ?

I am not a lawyer, but I think that this would be illegal under EU privacy law.

The same way it operates in China? I guess, China is much bigger market, so it’s worth the effort. Not sure how it’ll go in the UK.

    As far as I can tell, China is asking to keep Chinese data in China and have access to it, but it is not asking to access data of American or European citizen and if it did we would be pissed off.
