Isnt it possible that apple wants to indirectly harm google, by raising the issue for returning information to users? Believing that corporations can be "good" or "evil" is real bad advice at best, cheap marketing speak at worse. I think tech people should be immune to such messaging.
- mojuba 11y agoApple has its own share of evil of course (user lock-in etc.), but for one thing, when their CEO says "we won't hand your data" he knows that some day there will be another Snowden and he, the CEO of Apple, better make sure what he says today is actually true.
- karlshea 11y agoI honestly don't think Apple gave one second's thought about Google when they decided to take a stand on this issue.

- karlshea 11y agoRight, they are sometimes using it as a marketing advantage, but I don't think "hurting Google" is why they care about encryption/privacy in general or why they are standing up about this court case specifically.
