It is not a slippery slope. It is a hard fall from the highest mountain top. It escalated from "Do you trust and love Apple?" to "Do you trust and love your Government?".

I am located in place where the Government question have a very clear answer.

So glad that Apple showed this before pushing "the new stuff", someone in the Glass Doughnut firmly believed that this will bring more sells, because of "saving the children".

Thank you, whoever you are. Without knowing, you did the right thing.

Now we can ignore Apple's shiny toys and actually save money.

And if Governments want to scan and monitor us, please provide your own hardware. I will not pay the bill for your dystopian nightmare.
