This is different IMO. When you buy Apple you buy an American product and you know the company is beholden to US law. Snowden has made perfectly clear how much they can be trusted. When you buy it anyway it's an informed choice.

Here a country that has no ties with most of apple's customers is just butting in and claiming access to all of them.

So what's next. Are we also giving access to everyone's data to Russia? Iran?
