The problem with the debate over Apple's withdrawal of Advanced Data Protection is its presented as; either we have encrypted privacy or we don't.
While the UK wanted to break the privacy lock, it did attach a clear legal process to demand(s); but I suspect Apple's main problem was the extraterritorial reach of the proposed capacity.
Critics rightly worry about state snooping; supporters point to criminal & abusive activity.
But in a polarised debate there can now be no middle ground?
