They haven’t announced this, but they invest a lot in encryption and privacy, and have stated that user privacy is a value of theirs. They have also expressed that they don’t want access to be able to be forced by law enforcement.

Their actions speak louder than their words.

And their actions show that they aren’t likely to do any of the scary things they are being accused of.

That’s the point - people keep claiming some nefarious slippery slope, which is of course in the realm of possibility, but is not actually happening.

Apple stores user iCloud backups and their encryption keys on Chinese government-controlled servers in China, and gives the Chinese government full access to those servers. And routinely grants the US government warrantless access to those same backups in the US.

So what actions are you referring to that show they won't do any of those scary things?
