I don’t know what people expect here. Companies can’t really stand up to governments, especially autocratic ones overseas. Apple’s only option would be to leave Russia completely.

That might be the right thing to do but it’s a tough sell to shareholders.

This hurts Apple. Remember, Apple's entire argument for CSAM scanning is that they would resist pressure to modify the system.

Obviously they won't if they fold this easy.
