Is it really? There are some very loud voices making their discontent felt. But what does the Venn diagram look like between 'people who are loudly condemning Apple for this' and 'people who were vehemently anti-Apple to begin with'?
My trust was shaken a bit, but the more I hear about the technology they've implemented, the more comfortable I am with it. And frankly, I'm far more worried about gov't policy than I am about the technical details. We can't fix policy with tech.

Yeah. I don't really understand the tech utopia feeling that Apple could simply turn on e2ee and ignore any future legislation to ban e2ee. The policy winds are clearly blowing towards limiting encryption in some fashion. Maybe this whole event will get people to pay more attention to policy...maybe.
Yes, and we were trusting Apple. And now this trust is going away.
