Also we definitely trust that the Brits just gave up, right? They had nothing in exchange, no guarantees to be able to access the data in other ways…

Also, the tweet is only about protecting American people. I personally still don’t feel very safe about it and keep my backups local, thanks.

UK no longer has the leverage to have an impact on Apple.

Or perhaps GCHQ don't need Apple to access the data any more - indeed the whole demanding access might have been a smoke screen to make people think it's secure....
