Apple says it will remove services such as FaceTime and iMessage from the UK rather than weaken security if new proposals are made law and acted upon. (www.bbc.com)

There are a lot of things to hate about Apple, but this I can get behind. Get people using 3rd party messaging apps too! Preferably ones with e2e encryption.

Plenty of people in the UK/Europe use third party apps already, iMessage is certainly less of a big deal than it is in the US.

I live in germany and I don't know a single person that uses SMS or iMessage. Almost everyone here uses WhatsApp.

WhatsApp isn't much better. It's owned by Meta afterall!
