It's this publicly known, or just assumed because China blocks everything they can't read?
I assume that Apple gives the Chinese government access somehow, but I've never read details.

What about other tech companies like Microsoft or Google? Do they comply?
Every company. Everything. Including Signal.
Can you elaborate on signal? They have a open source codebase without any back door?!

They should just publicly publish all the messages from politicians' accounts.
If they want to see our messages we should be able to see theirs, fair is fair.
Signal and WhatsApp have also said they'd likely leave the UK market if this bill is passed as it currently is.
