Pretty sure I read this would only apply to US based users

Yes so far. Once the mechanism is in place it will be rolled out. I'm in the UK and we have a fairly nasty set of state legislation on censorship already and an increasingly authoritarian government so this is a big worry.

Absolutely agree, this will no doubt reach Apple devices worldwide, just a matter of time.

But there is still time for Apple to halt these changes.

Apple will try again with something that's wrapped up to be more palatable to consumers. A change of heart in the next 90 days does not mean that Apple is a good actor.
