If the UK wants to force Apple to backdoor their systems, Apple should shutdown Apple accounts and devices for UK government officials AND their families. Tell them to use Android.
The outcry would get the government to back off SO quickly.
Set a precedent.

Italy is not opening backdoors on any private personal system.
Italy wants to defend copyright holders and block pirate streaming services. Is that an absurd request?

It's the law that is absurd, though. Italy's "piracy shield" forces all service providers (including DNS and VPN vendors) to block any IP address or domain name that they put on a blacklist, within 30 minutes from publication. Only Italy's equivalent of the MPAA are allowed to add to that list: you can't use the system to protect your own copyrighted works, only the media oligarchs can. There is no appeal procedure if you are unjustly blocked.
Last year "piracy shield" disabled Google Drive in the whole country for a day because someone had shared links to watch football matches on a Google Docs document.
That said, it's not lost on me that Cloudflare expect themselves to be above the law, and that they don't want anyone to rule the internet because they want to be the gatekeepers themselves.
