What we should really be hammering on I think is the vendor lock-in, walled garden, and monopolistic aspects.

To me this CP scanning nonsense is Apple waving a carrot in front of the Establishment to get the Anti-Trust heat off, while selling everyone else on further degrading privacy through a slam dunk deliverable to satisfy the short-game players, but that's just me.

If the public isn’t going to push back against establishment politics looking like they did 100 years ago, good luck.

Like waves and particles; it starts with individuals changing their behavior.

But we’d all rather sit around debating ephemeral abstraction (a lot like religion), reconfirming math and the physical universe still work as discovered years ago, as we’re all still “rich enough” the bottom falling out hasn’t gotten to us yet, political problems are for the poor.
