Commercial security is pure theatre at the end of the day. Apple could pretend to make a big stink, release a new encrypted Time Machine or leave the UK... but why? None of that makes them money. It's a band-aid for the user freedom that was amputated decades ago.

I don't expect Apple to fight this like, say, the EU regulations. Without a profit incentive, it's hard to mobilize Apple to seek a solution.

Would this device be free?
