So if Australia went to Apple and/or Google and asked them to add backdoors to their operating systems, is that market large enough that Apple and/or Google would agree or would push back, perhaps even so far as to remove their products from the country (making sure to tell their users exactly who was responsible for forcing that decision?)
After all if they bow to pressure from Australia, what’s to prevent China or Russia from exerting similar pressure to get access to that same backdoor that they could use to access, say, the ever-present phone of a certain world “leader”? (I know, they almost certainly already have access already.)
