Oh my God I’ve triggered the Apple FOMO dorks. Please get a life

Lol? Way to discredit yourself as a clueless fucking rube. “I work in the industry and I take everything my employer says at face value” is not going to convince me bucko.

Why don’t you start talking about Apple’s third party ad service servers if you think you know where all the data is going? They leak everything even if they don’t officially retain stuff. It’s all theatre for employees and regulators and the EU.

It’s on the wikipedia page for Plato’s allegory of the cave. Have fun. People misuse the term “Plato’s cave” a lot

Apple is still an ad company they just want to cordon off their “private ad system” with their VPN products and hide my email shit. Don’t trust Apple at all myself

Apple is only promoting themselves as a privacy company to try to get VPN customers to move to their iCloud plus and shit. It’s like Micro$oft moving into open source. I really don’t think it’s ever wise to take a company’s philosophy seriously it’s just a way to manage customer and employee expectations temporarily.

What you’re able to request from these companies officially is just the tip of the iceberg. The point is that between phone numbers, email reuse, google analytics etc with fingerprinting, and operating system telemetry, a complete picture is assembled of users.

If you’re not looking for arguments and instead approaching things from understanding surveillance maybe my statements will make sense now.

How adorable 😭😭 what a hoot

I also love bald eagles (lucky enough to have one as a neighbor) who make a little beepity chirping I like. People feel the need to dub over it.

I take it you mean Douglas Leith who is the first result?

Doesn’t have anything to do with Microsoft and Apple’s market share on PC which is what I was thinking of.

Besides, it wasn’t like I was saying Google’s mobile telemetry is less invasive on Android, where they compete with Apple for being as creepy as possible. IIRC windows phones haven’t taken off
