"In its fight against the right to repair, Apple has argued that allowing independent third-party businesses to service its computers and smartphones would present an unacceptable risk to user privacy and security. (p/) This incident, which occurred at the facilities of an authorised contractor, has undercut that argument somewhat."
I'm not sure it does undermine Apple's argument. Doesn't that depend on those pesky details? How much effort does Apple *actually* put into safe-guarding privacy at 3rd parties? Versus how much effort do / will / would independent shops put? And what would be the rate of incidents at various levels of effort? Apple's vendors have notably failed, but that doesn't tell us much about effort or rate.
