Their hypocrisy? Apple says privacy is a human right yet they're complicit in exposing all of their users data to a Chinese state run company. If privacy is indeed a human right then don't operate data centers in China until they change their policies.

"all of their users data"

All of their users in China whose government demands it.

I don't like it either, but I don't see Apple stopping China from doing this and they can advertise privacy all they want elsewhere ... where it applies.

There is no privacy as far as the Chinese government cares, and I don't think Apple promises anything like that in China.

Apple has to do right by their shareholders. That’s how it works in the U.S., I’m not saying that’s good (it’s not) but it’s a fact.

iMessage and other E2E services that Apple provides won't be compromised unless the user opts in to iCloud backup.

Not to excuse this.
