    I think the headline is framing this wrong. Apple is not threatening to kill these services.

    Apple is refusing to break their services just to accommodate broken, stupid laws written by a broken, stupid parliament.

      I get concerned when companies like Apple uses the “We won’t break our application for demands of one country” argument as Australia, France, the USA and possibly other countries are either planning or already have similar legislation.

      The right argument to have is the one that says “this is just plain wrong!”. That is a much tougher needle to thread though.
