I wouldn’t be so sure about this iCloud and iMessage surveillance-facilitation approach not also flying in the EU if it ends up flying in the US. For going on decades now, EU-area countries’ law enforcement personnel and others in government in the area have been complaining about how encryption use was getting in the way of their crime-fighting investigations and security operations of various sorts. And it has been such that rather commonly their governments would de facto enable backdoors around their own laws by having the USG run operations — even “on the ground” … but not just physically ‘the ground’ — under cover of foreign sovereign immunity.
