To be fair (and let's be clear, I hate Apple), they have a pretty good reputation for privacy pro-consumer. I'm sure that's a business decision, but still.

Apple > google

When it comes to privacy. Though apples foray into ads are a worrying sign.

Apple being better than Google is a low low low bar to clear.

Not that I think Apple is much better OOTB. At the very least Android can be modded to be much better.

Didn't that start as an attempt at damage control because they forked over user data, just like Google?

Eh not in america either, but at least in both places they claim not to right

How come they need so many kanji to say this?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Because privacy isn't a thing in China. Hard to explain lol
