So does Apple[1]. Apple gave data on over 31,000 users/accounts based on National Security Letters in the first half of 2020 alone[1].
> Why doesn't it just ignore them?
In the first half of 2020, Apple provided data to the US government (non-FISA or NSL) about 9,000 times, and responded to requests for data with the data about ~85% of the time, and 92% in cases of "emergencies"[1].
