Of course. Google suckles the kings teet. They donated to his inauguration fund and the stupid fucking ballroom... they thought he'd never ask for the invasion of our privacy and they can't wait!

    And it doesn't matter who the king is; it just happens to be Trump now. They gave up Sensor Vault data to help convict Trump's January 6 insurrectionists during the previous administration, and they'll do whatever the next regime wants too.

    Apple generally makes more of a show of opposing the government. They traditionally will file court suits challenging stuff. Not to say they don't fold, just that they make a show of resisting, as they should it's dumb of google to fold, and they only are because they don't have enough competition, and have with other companies captured governments and regulators and courts.
