seems reasonable? here’s the thing: you start with a clear cut case like cp and after that you add different things that, as a government, bother you. you’re in a totalitarian state faster than you can blink.

The turn off icloud argument also does not work. Who tells you they’re not going to keep pulling stunts like this? So the solution is: stop using Apple. Now what?

Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and probably a dozen other major companies who didn't even consider it necessary to tell us.

stopped using Google, M$ and Facebook a long time ago. Guess it’s time for Apple to go.
