With EU chat control, the state will be on my device, having access to everything they want, decide what I can and cannot do. Once Google forces WEI on us, the whole web will get locked down. And secure boot and now MIE will make sure we can never take back our freedom.

Is the implication here that making phones more secure is... bad? Because it makes jailbreaks harder to develop?

I think it is. I've seen similar rhetoric from a few people in this thread, and it's extraordinarily silly. Apple is not developing this technology to make it harder to install torrent apps*; there's real problems they're trying to solve.

*: or whatever else people use jailbreaks for these days
