   Hello Mike!

   Sounds like that's the in-style ethical excuse right now.      
   Isn't the whole point to allow scanning of stored images for     
   potential evidence?

   At best Apple may only disable encrypted storage, but leave     
   people on their own to ensure privacy/encryption somehow.   
      
   "The UK government's "technical capability notice" requires     
   blanket access rather than merely assistance to access a     
   specific account"   
      
   Since there is no precedent to this demand and outcome, Apple     
   might have a good legal standing.   
      
   I certainly hope so.
