And then Apple will change it and we'll have another quiet compatibility war like with text messages.

There was a snarky comment yesterday about hackers hating governments, being unable to trust them.

But this is the counterpoint.

More Anti-Anti-Circumvention Laws! Please! Defend our ability to explore & interoperate & extend! The world ought be open to mankind & unfurling possible futures. It's so grand seeing governments finally putting some points on the board for improving access to systems, letting us see & grasp the constructed technological world we are submersed in.

hacked? LOL! Apple and Google had worked before together, remember Covid contact alerts?

Google didn't "crack" anything. This was done with Apple's cooperation.

I realize you're quoting the article title verbatim, but The Verge ought to be ashamed of themselves.
